NatureBricks transforms building facades into ecosystems, creating habitats for bats, birds, insects, and plants. By embracing biomimicry, Hana’s design promotes symbiosis between urban structures and nature, fostering biodiversity and sustainability through self-sustaining micro-environments.

 

The modular bricks are designed for seamless integration into building facades, each serving a unique purpose—offering shelter for bats, collecting guano as natural fertilizer, and supporting plant growth. These living walls blend architecture with nature, transforming traditional Dutch bricks into vital ecosystems.

 

As cities grow, natural habitats are often sacrificed. Hana’s NatureBricks reimagines urban construction, providing homes for wildlife while enhancing the balance between humans and nature. By mimicking the functionality of trees, these bricks offer a sustainable future for both people and the environment.
