Open Space

Open Spaces can serve as sanctuaries where people can retreat from the fast-paced rhythms of daily life, offering a tranquil environment for relaxation and a deeper connection with nature. They can also be very active spaces for play and physical fitness. By cultivating open spaces, we can instill an appreciation for biodiversity while promoting a sense of community for visitors.

Open spaces foster open connections.

Open Spaces such as parks, plazas, waterfront esplanades, botanical gardens, arboretums, and zoos are vital in enhancing quality of life. These spaces can be utilized for passive and active activities. TPG understands how to successfully execute the special requirements of these design and science-based projects.

Health & Safety

TPG prioritizes the health and safety of all animals, specimens, and human beings throughout the entire planning, design, construction, and ongoing maintenance needs. This focus ensures the intentional decision-making of consulting partners.

Programming & Experiences

The multidisciplinary aspect of zoos and botanical gardens with living beings at the core is a key differentiator, requiring input from stakeholders, curators, and keepers. TPG is adept at understanding stakeholder needs in both the project development phase through delivery and operation.

Biohealth & Safety

TPG recognizes the importance of preserving biodiversity and takes pride in working hand-in-hand with the expert keepers and caretakers who are committed to this mission. By actively leveraging the input of these professionals, TPG prioritizes and integrates needs into our project management approach.

Theming/Signage/Wayfinding

When experiencing a zoo or botanical garden, visitors need clear and concise signage and wayfinding to guide their journey of discovery and learning. Combined with theming, these essential elements not only ensure smooth navigation but also enrich the experience by providing immersive experiences, vital information, while enhancing accessibility and safety. At TPG, we understand the importance of effective signage and wayfinding and have longstanding relationships with specialized wayfinding designers and consultants.

Systems & Security

Providing a diverse wildlife experience requires suitable habitats for animals in different climates. To maintain animal welfare, MEP systems regulate lighting, ventilation, hydration, and waste removal. Not only does this component enhance visitors' experience with comfortable climate control and engaging with interactive displays, but it is also crucial for safety. At TPG, we have a thorough understanding of balancing these components and selecting the right consultants for effective design and installation.

Civil Infrastructure

At TPG, we understand the essential role of civil infrastructure in ensuring smooth operations of drainage, water supply, waste management, composting, and pedestrian pathways, as well as back-of-house service facilities and roads. Landscaping, erosion control, and other hardscape elements like boundary walls are all critical design considerations that impact facility efficiency. We recognize the importance of balancing these components, and we work closely with expert consultants to optimize the design of your project.
