Beside a natural habitat for thousands of herons, Shunde Yunlu Wetland Museum by Link-Arc rises within the dense vegetation of a wetland park in China. The museum sits just beyond a line of sequoia trees, set back from nearby paths and waterways to maintain a quiet edge within the park. A central water channel divides the site, and the surrounding trees create both enclosure and filtered views.

Serving as a multifunctional amenities building with café, dining, and gathering spaces, the suspended project inserts a striking horizontal volume into a terraced valley near the Danjiangkou Reservoir. Inspired by the accidental horizon created by a temporary blue construction fence on site, the architects translated this fleeting gesture into a permanent architectural intervention - one that stitches together the surrounding hills while redefining the relationship between landscape and built form.
