美国圣拉斐尔，2026年2月26日—— VITA与南卡罗来纳州最大的房地产公司之一The Beach Company合作，将基亚瓦河社区变为现实。这个占地2000英亩的滨水社区围绕”河畔生活”的理念构建，倡导一种注重环保、以健康为核心的生活方式。

San Rafael, United States, 2026-02-26 – VITA worked with The Beach Company, one of the largest real estate firms in South Carolina, to bring to life Kiawah River — a 2,000 acre waterfront community envisioned around the concept of “life along the river”, a wellness centered lifestyle in tune with an environmental focus.

VITA曾在五大洲操盘过30多个豪华社区项目，将客户愿景变为现实。此次为基亚瓦河社区提供了愿景规划、土地规划、总体规划、设计导则、景观建筑设计以及地块图，为其未来数年的开发奠定了方向。

Having stewarded clients’ visions on more than 30 luxury communities across five continents, VITA provided visioning, land planning, master planning, design guidelines, landscape architecture, and lot diagrams for Kiawah River — setting the course for its multi-year future development.

VITA负责人兼景观建筑师杰罗德·科斯特纳将基亚瓦河社区的设计描述为”休闲、温馨且以家庭为导向”，其核心是保护古老的橡树——一种原产于美国东南海岸的常绿树种。

VITA Principal and Landscape Architect Jerod Costner describes Kiawah River’s design as “casual, welcoming and family oriented”, and anchored on the preservation of heritage live oaks — an evergreen species native to the Southeastern coast of the United States.

“那些古老的 live oak，其优雅与形态宛如魔法，” 在全球参与过多个滨水开发项目的科斯特纳解释道。”保护它们是我们的首要任务，这些树木实际上定义了社区总体规划的格局。”

“The heritage live oaks are magical in their elegance and form,” explains Costner, who has worked on waterfront development projects around the world. “Their preservation was our No. 1 priority, and the trees really defined the geometry of the community’s master plan.”

VITA团队以一份详细的树木勘察图作为起点，设计了道路、住宅用地和开放空间步道系统的布局。

Working off a detailed tree survey plan as a starting point, the VITA team designed the layout of roadways, home sites and open space trail system.

“我们的团队努力实现一个大胆的愿景，同时协调环境、施工、预算和社会现实，”VITA创始人唐·维塔回忆道。

“Our team strove to manifest a bold vision, while choreographing environmental, construction, budget, and social realities,” recalls VITA founder Don Vita.

秉承The Beach Company对传统的深切尊重及其前瞻性的视野，基亚瓦河社区拥有20英里的海岸线，并将大部分土地划为绿地——包括一个仍在运营的农场和500英亩的咸淡水池塘——以此致敬该地区的自然禀赋和农业背景。不同的滨水住宅区和享有水景的村落宅地由一条20英里长的步道和村内绿地网络连接，并共享各类设施——例如用于田野盛宴和篝火聚会的场所，以及规划中的主街村落，那里将设有商店，并以欧贝格度假酒店集团旗下的The Dunlin酒店及水疗中心为核心。

In keeping with The Beach Company’s deep regard for tradition and its progressive vision, Kiawah River has 20 miles of shoreline, and much of the property is designated as green space — including a working farm and 500 acres of saltwater brackish ponds — in acknowledgement of the area’s natural riches and its agricultural context. Distinct neighborhoods of waterfront and village homesites with waterfront views are connected by a 20-mile network of trails and village greens, as well as shared amenities—such as gathering places for field feasts and campfires, and a planned Main Street Village with shops, anchored by The Dunlin, Auberge Collection hotel and spa.

基亚瓦河社区愿景宏大、设计精心且建造匠心，是一个商业上成功的大型房地产项目典范。科斯特纳预测，它在未来几代人中仍将保持其文化意义。

Boldly envisioned, thoughtfully designed, and built with intention, Kiawah River is an example of a commercially successful, large scale real estate project which Costner predicts will remain culturally relevant for generations to come.

“基亚瓦河社区是一个富有灵感的创想，它之所以能够持久，是因为它从一开始就被设想为人们生活中不可或缺的一部分。”他总结道。

“Kiawah River is an inspired idea which will endure because it was envisioned as an integral part of people’s lives,” he concludes.
