Currently, work on the Sanctuary building is ongoing. The Sanctuary will be an architectural masterpiece accommodating both people, animals, and plants.
In this transparent structure spanning 40,000m², both humans and animals will find their place: it will be both an inviting space with catering facilities and a tropical habitat for various flora and fauna.
The structure's volume, height, and stability are built using technology analogous to that of a football stadium, far from a traditional greenhouse. This impressive glass roof structure stands at a height of 22m (ridge height 25m) and is supported by columns spanning 50m.
The roof has been completed within the desired timeline, allowing other parties to continue work on and beneath our steel structure.
Meanwhile, the installation of the facades is in full swing. The the south facade has been finished.
The glasshouse of the Sanctuary will be entirely dedicated to the tropical climate of the Amazon region, its animals, and plants.
Soon, we will commence construction on an additional greenhouse spanning 10,000m². This greenhouse complex is intended to provide space for endangered animals and plants, as well as for visitors. Soon, visitors will have the opportunity to stay overnight in the greenhouse and enjoy swimming in an exotic lagoon with a wellness area."
Both buildings have been created by Forzon with sustainability in mind, so that several generations will enjoy it.
