The approach

A soil layer designed for cities under climate stress.

Soilence is an organic substrate built from natural surplus materials and tailored to site-specific conditions. It is designed to improve moisture retention, reduce erosion and support long-term soil function, so urban green infrastructure can keep performing as climate pressure intensifies.

The system

A resilience layer and a measurement layer.

Soilence is built as two connected layers. A deployable soil system in the ground, and an emerging measurement layer that observes how it performs over time.

Layer 01 · Physical

Soilence. The resilience layer.

A deployable organic soil system designed to retain moisture, reduce erosion and support long-term soil function in the ground, under real heat, drought and stormwater conditions.

Layer 02 · Performance

Soilence Score. The measurement layer.

An emerging companion layer developed to observe soil performance over time. Moisture stability, structure and long-term function across pilot sites.

Benefits

Soil designed to hold up over time.

Built to support long-term soil function in urban environments under climate stress.

Moisture stability

Designed to hold water through heat and drought, helping vegetation through dry periods.

Soil function

Intended to strengthen structure and support microbial activity below ground.

Long-term carbon

Built from organic surplus streams, intended to support carbon storage in soil.

Circular by design

A regenerative input, not extraction.

Applications
