The landscaping of the Australian enclosure at Zurich Zoo is one of our highlight projects. The new enclosure was opened in 2018 and has delighted numerous visitors ever since. We wanted the animals living in the new enclosure to feel as comfortable as possible. A unique atmosphere was created by modelling the Australia and lorikeet houses with special substrate. Thanks to the water points, sand pools and precisely planned planting, visitors to Zurich Zoo enter a breathtaking area that enchants with its inhabitants.
