The desire to redefine the image and identity of the “reception hut” translates into a harmonious composition of spaces allowing the integration of architecture as a learning space. Imbued with the very essence of the park, the center becomes the common thread that leads visitors on an experience of discovery and celebration of nature.
The shape of the building was sculpted by the natural and climatic attributes of the site. In addition, the choice of wood as the main material reinterprets the richness of textures and colors of the place and expresses nature in all its exuberance.
