Consisting of the administrative office and staff dormitory, MMC is conceived as enclosed courtyard with permeable interface, serving as a hybrid building for the local meteorological bureau. The undulating roof mimics the movements of rolling hills, while responding to the climate need of providing drainage system. The building established a harmonious dialogue with the natural surroundings. Elevated ground level that is inherited from the vernacular architecture optimizes the pedestrian experience and facilitates the natural ventilation.

A rhythmic façade is accentuated by carefully placed fenestration. A series of voids within the building were introduced to optimize the spectacular views towards the canyon. The architect learned from the local traditional architecture to accommodate environmental and cultural needs : using local pinewood and prefabricated, elevating the ground floor, providing masonry structural supports, and applying sloped roof system to overcome issues in rainy seasons. The building façade also features a hand-craft stucco pattern, adapting to the texture and enriching its local characteristics.

MMC is intended not only as an administrative workplace, it is also designed as a civic place for the local people to gather and interact. The design and materiality pay tribute to the local ethnic culture, blending the vernacular architecture with modern architectural elements, creating a contemporary building sensitive to local culture and tectonic tradition.
