The space is created with different level and opening to experience water in various ways.
From the mass soil disposal while constructing the detention pond, the rammed earth wall is designed to the disposal reuse. The other natural elements, such as wood and bamboo template, and weathering steel are brought together to compose an accessible and friendly building.

There are four objects where serve as cafeteria, classroom, pavilion, and public toilet, etc. The layout of the objects creates more interface between space and water, the diverse-background visitor of all age could experience the water by their way. Tow entrance ways are created according to the height difference in the site.
