Humboldt Penguin Habitat Scheveningen Sealife Centre

 

Koda Creative were asked to build the artificial rock for this Humboldt Penguin habitat at Scheveningen Sealife Centre, Holland. We made 165 m2 of rock inspired by the Chilean/Peruvian coastline from where this species originates.

Architect on this project was MDM Advies
Designer of decoration/theming and project manager was Ton Van Helden
