Beaches are disappearing. Storms and tides pull sand away, reshaping coastlines faster than they can recover. This project proposes an artificial reef system designed not just to slow erosion rates but to create a living structure beneath the surface. Instead of relying on breakwaters, this approach dissipates wave forces while creating habitats for native marine life to thrive.

The project is developed through parametric coding and tested with wave propagation modeling and CFD simulations. The system is modular and scalable, allowing it to adapt to different site requirements. A solution that doesn’t fight nature, but works with it.
