Floating Forest Architecture

The Sea Tree Hopes to Protect Nature From Rapid Urbanization

The planet is changing drastically due to climatic change and rapid urbanization, so it is important for people to come together to try to alleviate the dangers that these changes pose; the Sea Tree is one such solution. The Sea Tree is a impressive floating structure that works to protect flora and fauna above and below water.

Designed by Wasterstudio.nl, a company based in Amsterdam, the Sea Tree provides habitats for creatures such as birds, bees, bats and other small animals in addition to protecting its natural surroundings. By being unfit for human use, the Sea Tree ensures that its sole purpose is to help nature. Since it takes up no land and is 100% self-sustainable, that should be an easy task for the Sea Tree.
