The center of the Eastern region of Hungary is Nyíregyháza, which is situated near the border of three countries: Slovakia, Romaniaand Ukraine. The main touristic destination of this region Sosto Zoo can be found here. A special living house was implemented in the middle of the zoo, which represents the flora and fauna of Southeast Asia truly reflecting the native environment. The aim of this development was to create a high-standard architectural and zoological attraction in this relatively poor region utilizing leading European knowledge. The building had to serve several purposes, since oceanarium, rainforest, communal area and multifunctional conference room can also be found in it, besides it provides home for several exotic species.
