Hexalog

Meet Hexalog

The future of oyster restoration

Inspired by inspired the hexagonal structure of the individual bricks or logs, Hexalogs combines beauty and eye-catching quality with the natural stability of hexagonal tessellations.

Hexalog Design

The outer side length of one Hexalog is 7 inches, making the height about 12.124 inches and the widest portion 14 inches. ​Within the inner portion of the brick is a T-shaped protrusion which will allow for the propagation brick to be attached to the Hexalog while remaining easily removable​.

The T-shaped cutout in this design will align with the solid T-shape protrusion on the main Hexalog cubby. This will allow for the propagation brick to connect to the Hexalog cubby yet be easily removed, if necessary.​ This propagation brick would be made entirely of the oyster cement, thereby ensuring the conditions for optimal growth. ​It will stick out two inches from where the Hexalog cubby ends, which is at 14 inches, making the structure have a total depth of 16 inches. ​

We attempted to create a design that could also be modified with oyster or wire mesh to create oyster baskets - testing a new method in oyster restoration viability.

Alternative Stacking creates hidden spaces and increases surface area.  while offering customization options.
