Master Plan
Long-range framework that defines the site’s vision, priorities, phasing, stoytelling and overall organization of exhibits, facilities, circulation, and infrastructure.
Concept Design
Early stage that turns the master plan’s vision into alternative high-level spatial and organizational concepts for the facility or key zones.
Schematic Design
First developed design that refines the chosen concept into a coherent layout with approximate sizes, relationships, and systems to set scope, budget, and schedule.
Exhibit Design
Detailed design of individual animal habitats, integrating welfare, behaviour, safety, husbandry, interpretation, and guest experience into a buildable solution.
Visitor Facilities Design
Design of public spaces (entrances, ticketing, restrooms, F&B, retail, viewing and education areas) to support clear, comfortable visitor flow and experience.
Service Area Design
Planning of back-of-house and operational zones (keeper areas, vet, food prep, quarantine, maintenance, storage, staff facilities, service roads) for efficient, safe, biosecure operations.
Landscape Design
Design of planting, landforms, hardscapes, water, shading, and ecological systems to support habitats, visitor comfort, aesthetics, drainage, and sustainability.
Theming Project
Creative development and application of a unifying narrative, visual language, and immersive details to tie exhibits and spaces into a coherent, story-driven experience.
Construction Supervision
On-site support to ensure the design is built as intended, in line with the approved documentation.
Our approach is defined by the level of detail we bring to animal welfare, visitor experience and every design decision.
The interactive diagram below shows the key design details that characterise our projects.
Natural landforms replace barriers, hide shelters and feeders, and blur enclosure edges.
Vegetation tailored to each species’ ecology.
Shared geological and soil elements around the visitor area enhance immersion and limit sightlines.
Multiple viewpoints distribute visitors while keeping them out of each other’s sight.
Surrounding landscape visually integrated to enlarge the enclosure and allow new species.
Smart use of terrain and theming hides barriers, merging predator and prey exhibits into one visual space.
Hidden selective barriers allow some species to pass while restricting others.
In collaboration with our trusted partners, we also provide a range of specialist services that complement our core expertise and extend the scope of our projects.
