Nature Inclusive Coastlines
Coastal protection is needed to prevent flooding and protect communities. Most coastal protection is made from concrete due to its strength and its versatility, often with the inclusion of sheer, smooth surfaces. The versatility of concrete also permits nature inclusivity to be build into the design itself, as seen in Greening the Grey.
In this way, nature-inclusive solutions can be retrofitted along our developed coasts and incorporated seamlessly within new construction. The incorporation of macro features such as pools, overhangs, and crawl spaces able to mimic niche environments and help biodiversity to flourish.

Thriving Waterfronts
Waterfront areas such as quays, marinas and harbours are significant culturally and commercially. Our nature-inclusive designs provide protection for these areas, enabling both humans and nature the ability to prosper.
Nature inclusivity can be integrated into a variety of applications. Combining community engagement with nature inclusive protection promotes the development of positive attitudes towards these types of solutions within waterfront communities.
