Encoding Nature. 🌳💻
We use computational design to translate the intricate patterns found in nature into a functional, biophilic language.
The patterns are not just for aesthetics but they allows us to create resting opportunites for various species across vertical building surfaces, from a single panel to a garden wall.
By integrating these familiar, nature-derived forms into our urban spaces, we aim to provide a sanctuary for solitary bees and insects in an ever-changing world.

The Here East Innovation Hub. 📍⚙️
We are thrilled to be installed at Here East in the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
We are conducting regular observations to see how local solitary bee populations interact with the modular system in real-time, helping us refine the future of interspecies architecture.
