This faithful recreation of a Southeast Asian riverbank community is part of a 25,000 square foot experiential exhibit that envelops zoo patrons in an exotic atmosphere.

Environmental replication—highlighted by lush landscape, waterfalls, mist, and authentic atmospheric sounds recorded in the forests of Asia—is delicately blended with architectural elements to create an adventurous, educational, and entertaining setting for guests. Zoologically-approved habitats for six rare and endangered species are integrated into the design package.

McBride had complete design responsibility over all aspects of the exhibit, including patron areas, habitats, nighthouses, and all service/maintenance facilities.
