The facility features a section that replicates the Namibian coastline, complete with two pools and beaches for aquatic turtles and African penguins. Additionally, there is a boat-shaped building housing a restaurant with an observation terrace, and an area where exhibitions of four different types of biotopes are presented.

The decision to use FOAMGLAS® solutions was driven by the need to ensure a high load-bearing capacity of the floors in a wet environment, prevent deformation under load, maintain the airtightness of the system, and ensure trouble-free operation in these sensitive areas of the facility.
