Zero Carbon Park, with its two hills and one valley, may not possess the most striking natural features, but it excels in its natural and primal essence. Our design approach begins with cherishing every trivial nature element on the site. Shaping the design according to the terrain, adapting to the local conditions, and utilizing on-site materials are the best low-carbon principles. We recycle and repurpose fallen trees and stones from the forest into benches and steps, collect rainwater to create interactive water features, replace concrete with permeable pavement, and incorporates a substantial amount of solar panels and low-carbon technology as well. Eventually, our ultimate aspiration is for everyone who visits Zero Carbon Park to experience low-carbon initiatives in every corner and adopt a low-carbon lifestyle step by step. We aim to promote the idea of “giving nature back to nature” in the lightest possible way, and instill the concept of low-carbon living into the hearts of all who come here.

零碳公园，两个山头和一个谷地，虽然没有特别突出的自然条件，但胜在自然和原始，而我们设计的出发点，也正是从守护现场的一草一木、一石一水开始的。因形就势、因地制宜、就地取材，就是最好的低碳理念；回收利用山林中的枯木和石头，做成坐凳、台阶，把雨水收集起来形成互动性的水景，破除的混凝土铺成路面，也用了大量的光伏，和低碳技术。最终，我们希望来到零碳公园的每个人，在每一处都能感受到低碳，并慢慢养成低碳的生活方式……以最轻的方式推动“将自然还给自然”的低碳理念。

The Zero Carbon Exhibition Hall and the Park’s Management Service Center are respectively located at the center and entrance of the park. The Zero Carbon Exhibition Hall, nestled within the valley, seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings covering an area of approximately 2,600 square meters with a floor area of around 2,800 square meters. Taking on an earth-covered form, the architecture adopts a centralized layout to minimize its footprint, cleverly concealing its volume and avoiding extensive lychee forests on the site, thus reducing human interference with the natural environment to the most. The spatial form draws inspiration from the passive design principles of traditional Lingnan architecture, where the roof of the pavilion resembles a conical hat, gently lifting and spiraling away from the main structure, creating three distinct levels with open spaces in between that offers extensive shading and fosters natural airflow. The application of a daylight-filled atrium further softens the light conditions, enhances air circulation, and mitigates the heat island effect.

零碳生活馆和公园管理服务中心用房分别位于公园中心和入口附近。隐藏于山谷之中的零碳生活馆与自然融为一体，占地约2 600平方米，建筑面积约2 800平方米。建筑以集中式平面布局减小占地面积并以覆土建筑形式消隐体量，避开场地内大面积荔枝林，减少人类行为对自然环境的干预。空间形态汲取传统岭南建筑的被动式设计原理，屋顶状如斗笠与建筑主体相互脱开盘旋而上，中间架空，分成天然的三个层级，提供大面积遮阳同时，形成开放式对流空间。采光中庭进一步柔和光环境，加速空气流动，缓解热岛效应。
