32 biomimetic reefs in Cap d'Agde

“The purpose of these reefs is to promote underwater biodiversity by creating sustainable structures with high variability.”
About the project

The purpose of these reefs is to promote underwater biodiversity by creating sustainable structures with high variability. This time it was anchor bodies, usually tires filled with concrete, which were designed to integrate a function of habitat and anchoring. Each cavity sees its size and qualities - closed or dual-aspect, cantilevering etc. - adapted to each family of plant or animal species.
