Shangri La

Nature Discovery Center

Client: Shangri La Botanical Gardens & Preserve
Location: Orange, Texas

Challenge:

Mentor children of all ages to be kind to their world

Solution:

Use the wonders of a rare cypress-tupelo ecosystem as an evocative entry point to natural science and environmental stewardship. Hands On! worked with Shangri La to create an adaptable indoor/outdoor pavilion where visitors can watch, listen, touch, identify, and classify to connect with the many animals and plants in this unique nature preserve. The experiences provoke questions and conversation about environmental interconnections and stewardship, creating an impactful revelation that our everyday choices directly affect the natural world we share with so many.
Scope:
Master planning, exhibition design, exhibit prototyping & evaluation, architectural advising, space planning, infrastructure specification, graphic design & production, fabrication & installation management, operations & budgeting consultation
