Refugia Tiles
The intricate structural designs of Refugia Tiles go hand in hand with the circular layout, maximising the potential for ecological impact. Our retrofit panels create microhabitats within the interstitial spaces, promoting biodiversity, bio-abundance and ecosystem resilience along our urban coastlines. Artecology's commitment to complexity and circularity extends beyond materials, structure and design—it's also a commitment to fostering interconnected ecosystems and the meaningful engagement of human beings.
Refugia Tiles are versatile and customisable, with each design tailored to support specific target species and their ecosystems. For example, the tiles can be designed as nursery habitats for mussels, as showcased in the accompanying photographs. They can also be optimised to support intertidal rock-pool communities by providing structures that retain seawater during low tide. Additionally, Refugia Tiles can enhance sub-tidal ecosystems by offering 3D swim-through structures that provide shelter for fish and other marine life.
