The design intent for the Nature Archive overlooking the River Shannon is formed by the extensive surrounding treescape and the opportunity to integrate the building into this rich biodiverse area. The organic nature of this project is a deliberate reflection of the landscape as it transforms aspects of the site in order to enhance the ecosystem. Situated by the river, this glass roof pavilion is nestled amongst the trees and spills out over the landscape accentuating the building's permeability and connection with the woodland area.
