The building is a square in plan with a profile designed to call to mind the gentle form of the Cairngorms valley Clad in a seamless black liquid applied membrane, the elevations are animated by the shadows of the surrounding pine forest.
Internally, a man-made glade houses a curated landscape with specimen trees telling the story of the surrounding National Park and its history. The building is designed to operate 365 days a year with the large covered outdoor spaces giving year round shelter from the Scottish rain.
