Where Mission Meets Design
Zoos and aquariums are more than destinations. They’re catalysts for empathy and change, and TESSERE’s Zoo + Aquarium Division designs living environments that spark curiosity and turn compassion into conservation. Our people are our difference: architects, landscape architects, and strategists who have lived this work from the inside out. Former keepers, educators, and leaders, we ask bold questions, audit assumptions, and design for both mission and mechanics, ensuring every space advances its purpose. Each plan, habitat, and campus becomes a framework for possibility—where animals thrive, people connect, and communities are inspired to act for the world we share.
