Holo - Passively Cooled Artificial Habitat
Urban Habitat
Holo is a passively cooled habitat that protects urban wildlife during extreme heat. Made from terracotta, it regulates temperature through evaporative cooling, mimicking the inside of a tree hollow. By repurposing air conditioning runoff, Holo surrounds the nesting cavity with water, increasing thermal inertia while providing a water source for local fauna. Testing shows it can lower temperatures by up to 12°C during heatwaves, increasing survivability for nesting species. Unlike standard nest boxes, Holo offers superior thermal regulation and blends seamlessly into cities, making it a sustainable tool for urban wildlife conservation.
Holo is an innovative, passively cooled habitat that uses terracotta and evaporative cooling to protect urban wildlife from extreme heat. This design not only emphasizes social responsibility but also fosters harmony between urban spaces and natural ecosystems.
