Care for the Rare

Found this on RH architects website:

I presume it is in the UK as that is where clients are based, some of their other zoological clients being Bristol Zoo, Marwell Wildlife and Woburn Safari Park. Any idea on where, what, who, why? This project seems to have come out of the blue.

Hmmm, I can't see it being Marwell, because of space issues and surely you would have heard at least something from those meetings you go to. I havent visited either Woburn or Bristol () and so can't really comment, but could it possibly be something to do with that new park opening in Bristol?

This looks like those prestegic plans Chester Zoo presented not that long ago? The building does like like the drawings they presented a few months back...

Unless this is an old diagram (or the designs were changed at some point in the process), I don't think this is from Chester (although the plans do look somewhat similar)

The site seems to give the idea that this an entirely new wildlife attraction rather than part of an existing zoo; it all seems too grandesque to be that in my opinion.

I had seen this before and also did know where/what collection it was for, however my mind has gone blank.......maybe it will come back.

Is it Chessington? They are planning a new 'zoo area' and already have the Hotel that is mentioned.
