The Waterfront Restaurant was designed by the Shanghai office of Pro-Form Architects for a site in Yuang Xiang Lake Park. To build on this lakeside green-field inside a park, the architects opt to subdue the building and allow the landscape to prevail. The spherical roof of The Waterfront Restaurant offers the park visitors a short-cut to the main bridge, and also a privilege venue overlooking the Lake, which has been, in real life, loved by the visitors. The photographers very often shoot panoramas of the Park from this point, and as a result, many of their photos look similar. In addition, those roof top flora-beds planted with various colours can make an interesting collage from the high-rise-living residents’ points of view.
