Located in Darling Harbour in the heart of the CBD, Sydney Wildlife World is a world-class tourist attraction which presents Australian wildlife in nine habitats that closely resemble their natural environment.

Taking inspiration from a python's skeleton, the roof arch geometry expands and contracts to accommodate 10-20 metre tall trees within the facility.  The structure elegantly spans the awkwardly-shaped site, which is partly situated on water.

In line with the architect's vision, the curvilinear effect is enhanced by 35 structural arches which are self-supporting parabolic curves and vary in shape and size.  This unique design meets a number of functional challenges in an innovative way.
