Primate dormitories Leon Zoo

Architectural and executive design

Location: León, Guanajuato, México.

Year: 2020

Architectural and executive design for four new primate dormitories (gorilas, chimpanzees, orangutans and bonobos) located inside the new area called "Kings of the jungle" inside the Leon Zoo. The designs are very similar but have differences in the size of the bedrooms and their form because of each location. All bedroom cells have direct contact with their daily environment. For each specie there is a communitty space and all of them have a food storage and preparation area. The four buildings will be constructed in concrete with ochre pigment finished for a low maintenance cost. All the spaces count with natural illumination and ventilation.
