Wildflowers rule OK

摘要

Peppa Pig World is a 1.2 hectare attraction in Paultons Family Theme Park in the New-Forest National Park in Hampshire. The 930m2 main building is its first all-weather attraction, housing George's Spaceship Play Zone, retail and visitor facilities. A huge barrel-shaped roof covers the steel and glulam structural frame, designed to mirror the contours of the landscape, rising to eight metres at its centre. A wildflower roof is a key element of the building's sustainable and carbon-neutral design by HPW Architects. Completed over four years ago, it is flourishing thanks to the clever choice of 32 indigenous plants and a computerised irrigation system. The wildflower turf covers the entire roof and from the rear, where the building is partially under a bund created using earth excavated from the site, it appears to emerge directly from the ground.
