Situated on Elk Lake, this project is one of our first bioengineering projects. It is located on a stretch of shoreline that is pounded by the waves from boat traffic, ice movement and during periods of high winds. The owner called Inhabitect because they wanted to ensure that all erosion issues would be eliminated. Our natural shoreline solution did exactly that and more.
The project used 100% native plants that were installed within the water and throughout the shoreline. We worked closely with the owner to ensure our plant selections met their aesthetic goals.
Inhabitect is a full-service firm dedicated to designing, building, and growing all forms of living architecture. Based in Traverse City, Michigan — and consulting throughout North America — we create green roofs, natural shorelines, and other stormwater management and eco-minded landscape solutions for clients across the state. We’re bringing a new meaning to ‘GREEN.’
