Would you trust an almost invisible sheet of glass to protect you from a full-grown lion running towards you at top speed? We would. And we’ve got one great reason – Melbourne Zoo’s Lion Gorge.
Visitors are only centimetres from danger and yet incredibly safe thanks to the strength and clarity of our glass – and the clever design techniques of OLA Architecture Studio.
Super tough, super clear and super engaging, Melbourne Zoo’s lion enclosure heightens the experience between human and animal.
To achieve the required experience, 19 weighty panels of our custom SuperClear™ were needed for a result that virtually disappears into its setting.
A winding path wraps around multiple display windows to provide framed views into the lion habitat. Visitors and lions seeking respite from the elements can easily find shelter and private space.
