Changsha, China

Five park buildings are located along a forested mountain trail, allowing the locals to explore nature without losing their connections to comfortable rest areas and places to eat.  At the park’s entrance is the Visitors Center, with a restaurant and café.  The structure is built of heavy timber construction from Canada’s west coast, giving it a bold and rustic, yet modern expression. Howard Rideout is the designer of this project as a consultant to B+H Architects, Shanghai.
