About Haikou West Coast Southern Park Visitor Center
Haikou West Coast Southern Park Visitor Center is a visitor center in Haikou, Hainan Province, China. The building has an elliptical form inspired by an oval pebble washed by the sea. The shape follows the streamlined landscape of the park and blends into the surrounding scenery. A continuous roof of white composite aluminium sheet links the indoor and outdoor areas and offers space for rest. The facade uses tempered hollow glass curtain walls with undulating perforated aluminium sunshades. The sunshades reduce direct sunlight and save energy.
