Entomopolis
Entomopolis is a bio-integrated insect habitat designed to support declining insect populations by offering a safe, aesthetic, and functional refuge in urban and garden environments. Created with sustainability and ecology at its core, this structure invites biodiversity back into human-altered landscapes.
Entomopolis is more than a shelter, it is a call to action. In a world where insects are disappearing, this structure offers a creative, scalable, and beautiful step toward restoring balance. By reintroducing wild spaces into our daily lives, we can begin to repair what’s been lost.
Design process
Entomopolis addresses this ecological crisis by creating a functional, plant-integrated structure tailored to the nesting and shelter needs of beneficial insects such as bees, ladybugs, butterflies, and beetles.
Natural Form & Materials: The structure is made from biodegradable or reclaimed wood, shaped to blend with natural surroundings while maintaining structural stability.
Vegetation Integration: Protruding ledges and planting pockets allow native flowering plants and herbs to grow directly on the surface. These plants provide both food and cover, increasing pollinator attraction.
Microhabitats: The internal and external surfaces include varying textures and cavities for different insect species—supporting solitary bees, ground-dwelling beetles, and predatory bugs that contribute to pest control.
Modular Aesthetics: Designed for urban gardens, community spaces, or educational areas, its form encourages interaction and awareness while remaining visually appealing.
