Fondly labeled another “ugly” city scaled sculpture, Habitat Filter includes 18,000 planted native trees and plants, solar panels, recycled materials, harvests rainwater and provides dedicated habitat pods for wildlife integrated into its structure.

HABITAT FILTER
SCULPTURE + LANDSCAPE

Matt Drysdale, Matt Myers and Tim Dow were awarded first prize for the Trans Urban & Landcare Power Street Loop Design Competition. The concept is based on taking an urban sculpture and integrating its form within a landscape regeneration project. Our idea of disbursing the sculpture across the site and then utilizing the forms for sustainable purposes of capturing sun and water, filtering air and flora and creating a habitat for fauna and flora have essentially closed the loop of creating a sustainable urban sculpture and landcare project on the site.
