The new Elephant House at Zoo Zürich is nestled within the expansive landscape of the redesigned Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park. Its defining feature is the striking timber roof structure, a flat, freeform shell that blends seamlessly into the surrounding terrain. The Elephant House has received the Public Choice Award for Outstanding Architecture from the City of Zurich, as well as the Ulrich Finsterwalder Structural Engineering Award in 2015 and the Iconic Award in 2014.
