The new US$35m (£22.5m, EUR27m) Sunnylands Center and Gardens, which forms part of The Annenberg Retreat at Sunnylands in California, US, will open its doors on 1 March.

Reich+Petch Design International has worked on the media, wayfinding and exhibits at the 17,000sq ft (1,579sq m) facility, which was designed by Frederick Fisher and Partners.

Attractions include a glasses-free 3D tour of the Sunnylands residence and its development over the years, while tours include a study of the estate's art collection and interior design.

Established by Walter and Leonore Annenburg in the mid-1960s, the property was used as a winter retreat by the couple and has also hosted high-level retreats for the US president.

The new Sunnylands Center and Gardens will give visitors the chance to learn more about the Annenburgs and their philanthropy and commitment to education and the arts.

Reich+Petch principal Tony Reich said: "It has been an exceptional opportunity to work closely with a talented group of international design professionals to create a unified and integrated design for this important and iconic project."
