The eco-friendly, sustainable architecture for the Cley Marshes Visitor Centre in Norfolk, England, has been awarded the Best Sustainable Development at the 2008 Emirates Glass LEAF Awards. This contemporary, sustainable design by LSI Architects boasts an exterior inspired by the landscape, and taking its muse a step beyond simple inspiration, the structure is actually topped by the landscape as well. A sedum moss roof arches over a frameless glazed window, which offers unobstructed views of the nature reserve while flooring interiors with natural light. The Centre features other eco-friendly technologies and materials, and it is powered renewable energy sources including wind and solar power. LSI Architects.
