The idea of creating sculptures that appeal not only to people but also to wildlife is a relatively recent development, driven by a growing awareness of ecology in relation to public space. These works aim to enhance public areas beyond their aesthetic value, offering new functions that support the environment. This concept has inspired the design of sculptures that also serve as safe havens for protected species, particularly bats, which are increasingly under threat.

Crafted from granite sourced from responsibly managed European quarries, the sculptures incorporate roosting spaces for bats at various heights. The granite’s thermal properties help maintain suitable conditions year-round, retaining warmth in winter and offering cool shelter in summer. This makes them ideal habitats for several bat species commonly found in the region.

Strategically positioned, these sculptures are intended to benefit both humans and wildlife. They are placed in key locations, whether urban or rural, such as areas undergoing new construction, renovation, or along known bat flight paths and foraging zones.
