Old Elephant House - Wellington Zoo

Old Elephant House, Wellington Zoo, 10/3/2011 The front wall is all that remains of this historic building, with a building (with dreadful-looking roof) containing a tuck shop, toilets and reptile exhibits, built behind this. At the right is the new function space, called Kamala's, after the zoos last elephant. I guess it was tricky to incorporate the old facade in the new building, especially on a low budget, but I don't think they did a great job. The flow behind the facade and the new building isn't great.

      Yeah, it looked better in white. I wish the new roof was flush with the top of the old facade, they could have easily reduced the floor height inside to achieve this. It would have looked much better. Who were the architects here!?!?!:confused:
