The exterior design is inspired by the pangolin, a protected species symbolizing protection. The structure resembles two pangolins curled together: one represented by a wooden lattice roof mimicking scales, and the other partially embedded in soil as the main ecological display area. The underground space combines artificial lighting and skylights for unobtrusive wildlife observation. The secondary space offers an ecological observation and relaxation area, featuring a main rest zone for nearby wildlife viewing and an elevated platform for admiring distant landscapes and soaring birds.
