ORANGUTAN HOUSE

Moving apes upwards

Looking to renovate their existing Ape House from 1979 to a more modern and welfare-orientated housing for bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), Aalborg Zoo first started with an inspiration- and sketching phase to get input and see what was possible. We provided references, animal management expertise, and visitor experience sparring and inspiration for how to proceed.

After the conceptual phase the project was handed over to dan pearlman and completed in 2022.
