# Flood-Defence Nature Parks CF Møller Integrates an Architectural Multi-Tool with a Nature Park By Amy Duong | Published 2024-09-12 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cf-mller References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/09/11/cf-moller-stork-meadow-randers-denmark/) & [cfmoller](https://www.cfmoller.com/)  Danish architecture firm CF Møller has integrated a nature park into a flood-defense system -- this is nestled by the Gudena River in Denmark's Randers area. The design blends urban planning, nature conservation, and climate change adaptation processes into one single project. The studio formed a system that answered various concerns and also provided a [green space for the local community](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skakkeringen). It is formed in collaboration with the city and local utility service Vandmiljø Randers to form the [Stork Meadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danone-yogurt-jar) project. Studio partner Julian Weyer shares with [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathing-sea-wall), "The idea has been to pool various resources and investments to create something of an architectural multi-tool, where increased natural values and public access to nature go hand-in-hand with flood protection and stormwater mitigation, which both are real challenges in the river city of Randers. Our initial approach was to convert a sad situation due to climate change into a positive possibility to involve people more in the surrounding nature for both recreational and educational purposes."
