The Otter House Project by ZOO Architects

  • Location Shanghai, China

  • Services rendered Architecture

  • Year of completion 2023

  • Client brief Inspired by natural forms and tracing back to the very roots of architecture, ZOO Architects have taken organic materials such as rock, earth, and hay to create houses specifically tailored to the scale and needs of otters based on a deep knowledge of their preferred environments, social behaviour, diet, and cognitive abilities. The result is a complex, fascinating group of biomorphic housing prototypes.
