The project is located in Shandong, China, within a vast wetland park, known for its serene natural beauty and ecological significance. This design is a thoughtful renovation of an existing structure, aiming to seamlessly integrate the architecture with the expansive wetland environment. The primary design feature is the mountain-shaped building form, which blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.

The rooftops, covered with vegetation and walking paths, not only enhance the building’s natural appearance but also serve a dual purpose. They provide additional habitats for swans, allowing these majestic birds to thrive in an environment that respects and nurtures their natural behavior. Moreover, the design creates opportunities for meaningful interaction between people and nature, inviting visitors to explore the green rooftops and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the wetlands.

By embracing the contours of the landscape and prioritizing ecological sensitivity, this project offers a unique architectural experience that bridges the gap between the built environment and the natural world, fostering a harmonious coexistence between humans and the rich biodiversity of the region.
