Dingo Rock - Melbourne Zoo

Project Overview
Client: Zoos Victoria Location: Melbourne, Victoria Completion: 2024 Scope: Mock rock and concrete sculpture

Project Summary

Within the dingo enclosure, we created two large-scale mock rock structures designed to provide both functional High points and a naturalistic aesthetic. The first formation incorporates a high ledge, offering the dingoes a secure resting space that mimic the access qualities of rocky outcrops in the wild. The structures feature of elevated vantage points, encouraging natural behaviours such as climbing, exploring, and surveying their surroundings. Sculpted in durable concrete with hand‑tooled textures and natural colour washes, both elements blend seamlessly into the landscape, enhancing animal welfare while delivering an authentic, immersive experience for visitors.
Objectives
  • Replicate a natural environment
  • Create a high vantage points for dingo viewing
