 Calgary Zoo, Destination Africa
Calgary, AB
Project size: 7.4 acres
Client: The Calgary Zoo
Destination Africa is an authentic cultural environment comprising the TransAlta Rainforest exhibit, Safari Lounge banquet facility and Kitamba Kafe restaurant. A replica African village connects all the facilities on the site. The design features visually seamless interfaces between animals and visitors. It also offers a friendly pedestrian scale achieved by using glass for larger and higher elements and by breaking massing into smaller units so large buildings are perceived as clusters of smaller buildings.
