Auckland Zoo
The design concept has developed around the theme of transparency - from being able to ‘see-thru' the viewing windows of the Laboratory, Surgery and Treatment room. This concept can also be used to illuminate the hidden ‘connections' between animals and the environment.
The space is a visual extension of the Laboratory, Surgery and Treatment Room and will reflect their aesthetic of being clean, bright, transparent and surgically precise. It utilises the architecture of the space, which offers rich daylight and pragmatic fluorescent lighting.
Displays reflect the precision of surgical materials; microscope slides, glass, whiteness, stainless steel componentry and white hints/ tints of colour.
