The terrace holds seating for those staying outdoors. This is linked to the F+B area partially enclosed by sliding glass panels allowing maximum views and natural ventilation on warmer days.
The shape of the building and its location is a direct response to the site with cut outs in the structure to avoid cutting down existing trees or demolition of other important site features. A new car park area for the visitor has been allowed for at the back accessible by drive below the “bridge” segment of the new building.
The Visitor Center is naturally ventilated building with a minimum need for any mechanical ventilation or air conditioning. It has extensive daylight penetration to reduce contrast between outside and inside lighting conditions and to allow for maximum external awareness.
