Reef Design Lab is a Melbourne-based multidisciplinary design studio focused on marine research, habitat regeneration, and innovative architectural solutions for underwater and coastal environments. Merging science, engineering, and design, the studio creates sculptural and functional infrastructure that supports marine biodiversity and ecosystem restoration. Founded by industrial designer Alex Goad, Reef Design Lab works with researchers, urban developers, and conservation organizations to produce custom-designed artificial reefs, seawalls, and marine habitats using advanced fabrication techniques like 3D printing and CNC milling. Their practice reflects a commitment to climate resilience, ecological design, and cross-disciplinary collaboration, bringing together technology and nature to rethink how built environments interact with marine life.
