自然发现公园位于香港城市的心脏地带，是一个屋顶自然温室，位于一个新开发的零售目的地K11博物馆内，为城市居民提供体验式学习和从农场到餐桌的用餐体验。LAAB的任务是将购物中心的剩余空间改造成自然学习和体验中心。

Located at the heart of the urban city in Hong Kong, Nature Discovery Park is a rooftop nature conservatory in a newly redeveloped retail destination, the K11 MUSEA, offering experiential learning and farm-to-table dining experiences for city dwellers. LAAB was tasked with the challenge to turn an otherwise residual space in the shopping mall into a learning and experience centre of nature.

自然的城市建筑

在自然探索公园的中间是一个玻璃屋和一个城市农场。钢结构和铝包层被用于玻璃屋的框架，玻璃屋的特点是采用大型滑动玻璃门，使其内部与室外农场相通。为了节约能源，采用了IGU玻璃幕墙以减少热量的获得。推拉门始终打开，以吸引阳光，并加强自然通风，以最大限度地减少能源消耗。钢结构、铝包层、玻璃均为现场预制安装，减少建筑垃圾。屋顶略微向前倾斜，使建筑能捕捉到来自港口的盛行风，同时在视觉上拥抱农场。农场在玻璃屋上的倒影与周围的摩天大楼相映成趣，在视觉上提醒人们自然与城市的共存。门把手、吊灯和餐桌都是由LAAB使用可持续木材制作的。

Architecture of Urban Nature

In the middle of Nature Discovery Park are a glasshouse and an urban farm. Steel structure and aluminium cladding were used to frame the glasshouse, which features large sliding glass doors that open its interior to the outdoor farm. To save energy, IGU glass facade was used to reduce heat gain. The sliding doors are always open to draw in sunlight and to enhance natural ventilation to minimize energy consumption. The steel structure, aluminium cladding, and glasses were all prefabricated and installed on-site to reduce construction waste. The roof is slightly pitched forward so that the architecture catches the prevailing wind from the harbour while visually embracing the farm. The reflection of the farm on the glasshouse against the surrounding skyscrapers produces a visual reminder of the co-existence of nature and urbanism. The door handles, pendant lamps, and dining tables were crafted by LAAB using sustainable wood.

孕育的城市自然

自然探索公园的空间设计倡导人类、自然和城市环境共存，通过生态之旅和一系列关于生物多样性和可持续发展的教育活动。自然探索之旅从一个展示珍稀蝴蝶物种的档案馆开始，引向一个水族馆，馆内收藏了对面维多利亚港的水和热带海洋物种，如果没有污染的话。在温室内，一个水培苗圃将有机种植的蔬菜带到了餐桌上。玻璃屋前的农场为城市居民提供了都市农耕的机会，通过屋顶农耕和自然艺术果酱等活动推广生态育儿。香港的蝴蝶种类繁多，令人眼花缭乱，自然探索之旅的终点是一个种植植物吸引蝴蝶的蝴蝶园。

Urban Nature that Nurtures

The spatial design of Nature Discovery Park advocates for the co-existence of human, nature, and the urban environment by enabling eco-tours and a series of education programmes on biodiversity and sustainability. The nature exploration journey begins with an archive that showcases rare butterfly species, leading to an aquarium that hosts the water and tropic marine species of the Victoria Harbour across the site if there were no pollution. Inside the greenhouse, a hydroponic nursery brings organically grown vegetables to the table. The farm in front of the glasshouse offers urban farming opportunities for city dwellers, promoting eco-parenting through activities such as rooftop farming and nature art jam. As Hong Kong is home to a dazzling diversity of butterfly species, the nature discovery journey ends with a butterfly garden that grows plants to attract butterflies.
