Snowdon Visitors Center
At 1,085 metres, this unique visitor centre is one of the highest building in the UK, responding to one of the most extreme climatic locations: the mountain endures facing winds of 120mph, temperatures that can go below -200C and 5 m of rain every year. The list of special design considerations for this unique project is endless - life cycle costs, building life, sustainable development and complex design considerations.
