Reefscpe provided cocepts and speicalist data to Surbana to refine the aquarium building concept and business model. The adopted changes suggested by Reefscape, were warmly received by both the Architect and the Client team. Reefscape’s presentation, notably receiving a standing ovation.

Reefscape was subsequently invited to provide a design proposition for specialist aquarium areas of the building's interior, its exhibits and its visitors experience.
