WWF Peter Scott Visitor Centre
Share
The WWF Peter Scott Visitor Centre opened its doors in 2023. Through a series of upscaling and renovation projects, it transformed from a nature reserve into a “nature classroom”. After renovations, more space is available for accommodation and training, promoting dialogues and interactions with nature. Sustainable development is at the core of the construction process; sustainable materials were used in the environmentally-aware design. Bamboo and FSC-certified wood are used for the majority of the interior design, which optimises air circulation. The high ceilings and the sparse palette of the building gives generous daylight, while reducing its environmental footprint. Modular bamboo seating sculptures bring a warm environmental appeal to the building. To know more about how the architect blends interior design with the environment outside, come and join the tour!
WWF Hong Kong and The Centre also provide regular tours of “Exploring Mai Po”. Participants have the option to register separately for the priced tour. For details, please visit WWF Hong Kong's event webpage.
