Zoos & Wildlife Parks
Expertly Designed Enclosures for a Variety of Species
We specialise in constructing high-quality animal enclosures, including blockwork buildings and bespoke timber structures. From meerkat and tapir habitats to margay and tamarin enclosures, our designs prioritise animal welfare, durability, and functionality for zoos and wildlife parks.
A Landmark Project
Polar Bear Housing
Chapelstone worked with Stevie Sheppard, park director at Jimmy’s Farm, to design the new facility. Extensive research was carried out as the team visited existing housings such as the Polar Bear enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park and others within Europe to produce a new and improved enclosure. Chapelstone designed the cage work in a modular fashion, allowing panels to be removed and modified if required, for a truly adaptable facility. The building within which the cage work sits has been designed for maximum airflow, security for the rangers and welfare of the Polar Bears.
