Ørsted | Little Tern Restoration Site at the Zhuoshui Estuary

Real Terrain × Coastal Habitat

Using the actual Zhuoshui River estuary as a reference, Maxmodel translated the terrain into a scale model of wetlands, waterways and surrounding environments.

Mixed Materials × Realistic Surfaces

Epoxy resin is controlled for transparency, color and surface texture to give the water depth. Real vegetation is incorporated to reproduce the natural setting's textures.

Miniature Birds × Ecological Detail

Little tern figures smaller than one centimeter bring life to the landscape, presenting it as an ecosystem rather than terrain alone.

Ideas into Places × Visual Communication

The model connects renewable energy and habitat-restoration concepts with a tangible setting. It provides a way to explain climate action and sustainability through an observable story.
