Reptile House
Philadelphia, PA
In addition to renovating the architectural shell, we designed 25 animal habitats to house the reptile collection and created “immersion environments” such as southeast Asian temple ruins and a thunderstorm in the Everglades.
With specimens from many parts of the world and widely varying microclimates, each habitat has its own unique requirements for temperature and humidity, making HVAC designs, especially challenging.
