Designing Spaces for Conservation and Connection
Habitats That Inspire and Protect
Zoos and aquariums serve a unique role as spaces of education, conservation, and connection to the natural world. At Oceanis, our work focuses on creating environments that balance animal welfare and sustainability, ensuring these institutions can thrive as centres of learning and innovation.
Our projects emphasize thoughtful integration of technology, design, and functionality. Every habitat, system, and feature we develop is guided by the species’ needs and the people who care for them.
Our Expertise in Zoo and Aquarium Solutions
Our approach to zoo and aquarium design solutions is rooted in understanding the unique needs of wildlife and the environments they inhabit.
Animal Welfare in Design
Creating naturalistic habitats is central to supporting the physical and behavioral needs of wildlife. Whether simulating coastal ecosystems or freshwater rivers, our designs focus on fostering environments where animals can thrive in their aquatic habitats.Sustainability in Practice
Energy and water efficiency are integral to the long-term operation of zoos and aquariums. Embedding geothermal heating, advanced water filtration systems, and renewable energy technologies into our projects supports environmental stewardship while supporting operational goals.Enhancing Visitor Experience
Immersive design ensures that exhibits engage visitors while maintaining the integrity of the animals’ habitats. Thoughtful layouts, integrated viewing areas, and educational elements allow audiences to connect meaningfully with wildlife.
Case Study: Melbourne Zoo Wild Sea Exhibits
Read why this project is a showcase of the successful resolution of complex issues of water quality, animal health, underwater viewing and storytelling integrated with architecture, landscape and exhibition design.
Portfolio of Past Projects
Taronga Zoo
The design developed by Oceanis included sea water and freshwater distribution, treatment, and recycling for the pools, beach, and boardwalks of the precinct.
Ocean Park (Giant Tortoise Environment)
In creating a balance between designing an experience that visitors would enjoy and the animals’ welfare, we approached this project with a focus on water health.
Bali Safari and Marine Park
The Bali Safari and Marine Park development features a diverse array of terrestrial and aquatic animal exhibits, including freshwater and marine aquaria, marine mammal pools, and interactive children’s water play areas.
Enhance your zoo or aquarium exhibits with innovative, sustainable designs tailored to meet the needs of both animals and visitors.
