Recoast

RECOAST is a type of hexagonal ventilated blocks that can be stacked or assembled in a single layer, depending on the needs. It connects with ground components to create new land space. Its modularity makes production and replacement easier, thus reducing building cost. RECOAST activates the space on the block and within the blocks, creating a ground surface as well as an underground area via the openings. When employed near the coast, the holes in the block turn into an artificial reef and habitat for ocean creatures. It can also be equipped with a tide warning system comprising waterproof sensors and lights that emit different coloured rays that indicate tide conditions.
