The Seal and Sea lion Proposal was presented to the North Carolina Zoological Park as a renovation to the existing Seal and Sea lion exhibit. The existing exhibit provided little sun protection for the animals and patrons of the zoo and the North Carolina Zoo sought proposals to design a canopy over the pool and structure. Insight Architects concept was to provide a translucent wavelike structure over the exhibit to shield direct sunlight while maintaining natural illumination and give the feeling of being underwater. The entrance to the exhibit was moved closer to the main walkway to help attract visitors to the exhibit.
