NEST introduces an ecological facade technology developed through sustainable ceramic and clay additive manufacturing. Each panel is tailored to support specific microhabitats—ranging from nesting cavities and pollinator niches to low-maintenance vegetation pockets. The system creates a healthier microclimate, increasing local ecological density while offering tangible acoustic and thermal benefits.
Designed as a modular and flexible kit, NEST can adapt to new or existing buildings through interchangeable configurations. It promotes low-carbon fabrication and simple installation, enabling scalable application across urban contexts. By merging architecture and ecology, NEST transforms buildings from inert enclosures into active participants in environmental renewal.
