World Birding Center is very functional. The design of the buildings are related to the energy efficiency.
The structures are designed to provide only the necessary amenities to support visitors in experiencing the landscape. Therefore, in this simple design, interior space was minimized to save material and energy.
However, metal roof area was maximized over exterior walkways and porches to collect as much water as possible. Eighteen water tanks can store more than 47,000 gallons of water. Captured rainwater provide for the minimal establishment-period needs of the all-native landscape.
Individual buildings are accessed from the exterior and function to allow for the utilization of some portions of the facilities without impacting the other areas.
