Set within the regenerating landscape of Monte Pindo, the 3,500 m² Nature Center & Observatory reconnects both slopes of the Ézaro valley. The project hosts research, learning, and exhibition spaces and culminates in a panoramic rooftop walkway.
A sculptural envelope and context-sensitive façade systems respond to program and orientation, creating a building that celebrates environmental renewal.
The center is organized across three levels. Administrative, research, education, exhibition, and living areas occupy the lower and entry floors. Vertical circulation cores bring visitors to a continuous roof-level lookout, and an auditorium anchors the public program.
The building skin varies by need, combining shading and façade types to control light, views, and thermal comfort. An exterior mosaic envelope adapts to the initial geometry, enclosing the volume and completing a unified, walkable experience from valley floor to rooftop.
