Ähtäri Zoo Farm Animal Park
Zoo needed classrooms and farm Animal Park. I combined these to a plan of early 1900 school and farm. That time teachers had to keep farm animals. This farm will host events, school trips and visitors can join farm activities and taking care of animals.
All started from this farm sketch I made two years ago. Now farm animal park and school are ready and it is fun to compare sketch and final result. School and shed chanced their location and stable and cow house changed their position. Farm become larger and finer that was originally planned. Now there is functioning smiths forge and nearly all houses are larger.
Some smaller buildings are not ready yet and farm setting looks like this now.
Here are images from the Farm.
These paintings were used in information boards.
