What if water became more than just a technical challenge to manage? In the face of climate change, floods, droughts, and excessive runoff are becoming unavoidable issues. At Nvira, we believe water can—and should—become a driver of resilience, beauty, and territorial cohesion.
Rethinking Our Relationship with Water
Too often seen as a constraint, water is in fact a valuable ally in creating sustainable, vibrant, and inspiring living environments. By integrating technical, ecological, and aesthetic solutions, we help communities turn water-related challenges into opportunities for innovation. Our approach is rooted in a holistic vision of land planning, where water is treated as a structuring element of the landscape, not simply a risk to be contained. Every project is a chance to address climate challenges while enriching the identity of a place.
Our Guiding Principles
Progress: Reduce vulnerabilities to climate hazards
Excellence: Design multifunctional spaces where water fosters biodiversity, cooling, and beauty
Collaboration: Support integrated management that respects the natural dynamics of the land
Integrating Water into Landscape Design
Here’s how we put water at the core of our interventions:
Sustainable Stormwater Management
We design vegetated swales, retention basins, rain gardens, and permeable surfaces to promote natural water infiltration and reduce pressure on traditional infrastructure.
Runoff Reduction
By rethinking topography and materials (gentle slopes, permeable soils, draining materials), we help limit overflow and protect infrastructure.
Water can also be showcased as a defining feature: fountains, canals, ponds, and reflecting pools enhance the appeal of public spaces and encourage citizen engagement.
Wetland and Shoreline Enhancement
We work to protect, restore, and improve access to these sensitive areas, promoting a balance between ecological value and human experience.
Ecological Drainage Networks
In collaboration with our colleagues, we design resilient systems that can adapt to extreme weather events and future climate realities.
Interdisciplinary Expertise Serving the Land
At Nvira, our teams in environmental sciences, geotechnical engineering, and landscape architecture work hand in hand to deliver fully integrated, coherent solutions to water-related challenges—from diagnosis to implementation.
