BIOMEKKA

A TROPICAL MONSOON. IN THE LIVING ROOM.

A living ecosystem under automated control. It generates rain, fog, wind, lightning and changing daylight around a living community of plants, fish, shrimp, isopods and springtails — while two cameras stream it live.

MEET THE LIFE INSIDE

BioMekka is a real living habitat, not a special-effects box. Meet the residents keeping the ecosystem moving above and below the waterline.

What is BioMekka?

A LIVING HABITAT WITH ITS OWN WEATHER

Sensors watch the environment, custom controllers make decisions, and the habitat responds with light, rain, fog, airflow and heat. The residents live inside the result — while cameras let you watch it happen.
