"Koala meets Goanna"
The previous Africa House has been converted into a habitat for animals from Australia. The newly designed spacious window front with UV permeable special glazing ensures an optimum daylight entry. Adapted to the habitat in Australia the artificial light supports the overall lighting situation as well as the scenic, atmospheric experience of the visitors. In addition, great value was placed on the special lighting for the plants for optimum growth within the compound.
