Restaurant revamp for Chester Zoo
Chester Zoo has opened two new restaurants, created by design and brand agency Keane, at a cost of £1.5m. The main restaurant is now a contemporary food court, based around the story of June Mottershead, the daughter of the zoo’s founder, using black and white images to depict her long association with the popular visitor attraction. There is also a new African-themed café-bar which over-
looks one of the animal paddocks. There are plans to create a new piazza so non-zoo customers can access the café.

Leisure use for ‘green’ zeppelin hangar
OPEN Architecture recently participated in a competition to design a zeppelin hangar to sit unobtrusively in the green landscape of Auhui Province, China. The design not only fits its purpose, but creates a new leisure area offering extreme vertical sports surfaces, hiking trails and viewing outposts. A system of cuts and openings in a pre-fabricated con-
crete frame serve to modulate natural light, facilitate ventilation and rain water management and generate suffi- cient energy to create a zero maintenance green roof.
