WILDLIFE RETREAT AT TARONGA ZOO
Officially opened in 1916 and located on the northern shores of Sydney Harbour, Taronga Zoo Sydney is Australia’s largest and most iconic zoo that is operated by the Taronga Conservation Society.
The newly completed state of the art ‘ Wildlife Retreat at Taronga ’ is set to become a premier example of an ecological resort with luxury facilities within the grounds of the zoo.
As designed and described by COX Architecture, ‘ The Wildlife Retreat at Taronga consists of five environmentally sensitive, sustainably designed lodges that are integrated into the native bushland setting of Taronga Zoo’.
This extraordinary ecological design reinforces the connection to the natural environment by blurring the boundaries between the resort, the environment and the zoo residents.
INNOWOOD Sustainable Timber Alternative Cladding Systems are featured as part of the walls and soffit areas and were chosen as the environmentally friendly and sustainable material to seamlessly integrate into the natural setting as the closest look and feel to natural timber.
