“ZOOM NATURY” RECREATION PARK IN JANÓW LUBELSKI

“Zoom Natury” is Poland’s first interactive science and recreation centre where the architecture merges with ecology and is subordinated to nature. It boasts, e.g. one-storey pavilions for administrative and exhibition purposes, and an education and observation tower. The buildings are finished with natural and recycled materials.

The 10-hectare park area opens with a dynamic ferroconcrete structure with a wooden openwork roof – this is the gate that leads visitors to the Energy Square. The central building is the Main Laboratory. Adjacent to it are three identical pavilions: “Fruits of the Forest Laboratory”, “Avifauna and Troposphere Laboratory”, “Recycling and Energy Laboratory”. The complex is towered over by an 11-metre high education tower.

In 2015 the innovative “Zoom Natury” Recreation Park in Janów Lubelski was granted the International Property Award for the best European Leisure Architecture building design.
