RHINOCEROS HOUSE, ANTWERP ZOO

Glazed bricks for the façades of 1893

RESTORATION · ANTWERP

The building

Antwerp Zoo, founded in 1843, is one of the oldest zoos in the world, and the whole park has been a protected monument since 1983. Its Rhinoceros House dates from 1893 and was restored during the campaign of works that ran from 2011 to 2017, keeping its historic façades.

Our work

We reproduced the glazed bricks of the façades, in the red, deep brown and yellow glazes of the originals, so that new and old bricks sit together in the same patterns.
