Sustainability consultancy
A sustainable master plan was developed for an extension of the Zoo & Botanical Garden. During the design phase, special attention was paid to water, material and energy conservation and management issues; together with the aim of reducing the local heat island effect as a result of increased green and external wetland areas where possible. As part of the project, a biodome of 34.500 sqm was designed to house tropical & sub-tropical forests and aquariums. Thoroughly modeled bioclimatic design relying on the combined effects of natural evapotranspiration, reactive architecture and building services systems allow for environmentally friendly and efficient operation.
