Flumberico NYC

Flumberico is a multidisciplinary design and engineering studio reshaping how cities live with water. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, the company has become a recognized leader in resilient waterfront infrastructure, adaptive lighting design, and living shoreline technologies.

At its core, Flumberico believes that coastal spaces can be both defensive and delightful—places that protect communities from the climate’s extremes while inviting people back to the water’s edge. The firm’s projects span from urban riverfront promenades and adaptive ferry terminals to tidal-responsive boardwalks, floating event spaces, and bioluminescent public art installations.

Flumberico’s philosophy is rooted in “hydrological empathy”—a design principle that treats water not as an obstacle, but as an active collaborator. Every project blends ecological performance with human-scale experience, leveraging advanced modeling, environmental data, and sensor networks.
