When we think of waiting, it is difficult to picture the word animal: that is why our team wanted to focus on this topic.

Animal waiting is not so much considered and very often animals are seen as objects and not as sentient beings. After extensive research we discovered that waiting animals can get bored, even more so when they experience an unnatural and unrespectful lifestyle. Knowing that, we decided to focus on goats because they are very active animals mentally and physically.

Our project intends to improve the waiting situation on farms by recreating a modular design that encourages and stimulates goats to be mentally and physically active while playing.

The structure is made of larch wood and it is possible to create different compositions depending on the available space and personal taste.  Thanks to the solid base designed for all types of terrain and the joints that support the boards with a vice mechanism, the goat park is safe and stable for the goats.
