在森林结束和芦苇开始的所有地方，一个游客中心低低地盘旋在精心设置在水边的桩上。建筑物用茅草覆盖，像观鸟者的盲道一样伪装起来，将其内容与周围的自然世界隐藏起来。这是一个安静的建筑，使用传统的当地材料，以其晶莹的几何形状开辟新天地。陡峭的屋顶无缝地过渡到墙壁。陡峭的坡度使它们具有长久的生命力。茅草屋顶最脆弱的屋脊被改造成了一个玻璃天窗。
All the way out where the forest ends and the reeds begin, a visitor center hovers low on piles set carefully into the water’s edge. The building is clad in thatch, camouflaged like a birdwatcher’s blind, hiding its contents from the natural world that surrounds it. This is quiet architecture, using traditional local materials to break new ground with its crystalline geometry. Steep roofs transition seamlessly into walls. The steep pitch gives them longevity. The ridge, where a thatched roof is most vulnerable, is transformed into a glazed skylight.

The visitor center is the main feature of a series of measures that celebrate Tåkern’s qualities. The path to the building passes a number of landscape exhibits that reveal, for example, changes in the environment. A short distance away stands a bird-watching tower, designed as a sibling to the visitor station. The whole scheme is interconnected by boardwalks that make the terrain accessible for all. A 140 meter long ramp makes it possible to reach the five meter level by wheels.
在众多的展品中，有一个水族馆，它将游客中心的内部与建筑旁边的池塘连接起来，这对建筑来说是很有利的。该中心有一个封闭的、庇护性的形式，导致了最小的能源消耗。一些战略性的慷慨的开口将建筑与周围环境连接起来。
Among the many exhibits is an aquarium that joins the interior of the visitor center with the pond that has been advantageously exposed next to the building. The center has a closed, sheltering form, resulting in minimal energy consumption. A few strategically placed generous openings connect the building with its surroundings.
观鸟塔是在2009年落成的。开口处被铲屎官、鸭嘴兽、水鸭、松鸦和一只老白尾鹰所俯瞰。明年，他们很可能会回来预览一下游客中心的情况。
The bird-watching tower was inaugurated in 2009. The opening was overlooked by shovelers, gadwalls, teals, pintails and by an old white-tailed eagle. Next year they will most likely return for a preview of the visitor centre.
