Taiwan's Sun Moon Lake is home to fantastic and lush natural scenery, so it's no surprise that the Hsiangshan visitor center built at its edge was designed to be as aesthetically unobtrusive as possible.
Designed by Norihiko Dan and Associates, the Hsiangshan visitor center prominently features a reserved and sloping stature which complements rather than replaces the fantastic environment around it. Coupled with its gently ascending green roofs and vividly green landscaping, it truly is a remarkable example of sensitive and environmentally inspired architecture.
