Phyta Biodesign

Phyta Biodesign is a London architecture and biodesign studio working to rewild the built environment. Its practice sits where architecture meets ecology: facades are engineered from site-specific species data, then digitally fabricated from natural materials, so a building can function as habitat rather than simply occupy ground. The studio frames the work as design for coexistence, humans and other species sharing the same structures.

Two systems show the approach. Apia is a modular facade kit that turns elevations into nesting habitat for solitary bees and pollinators, while Fauna is 3D-printed cladding embedding cavities and foraging surfaces for endangered urban species. Both are made for new builds, retrofits and heritage structures, and paired with monitoring of microclimate performance and species activity.
