The EDGE Competition proposal for the New York Restoration Project consists of a boat house, open air classroom, science stations for learning and a wetland restoration park.

The proposed concept offers as many opportunities for learning, exploring and fun as possible. The strategy for the site consists of a salt marsh restoration project, which creates four distinct ecologies; tidal mud flats, low marsh, high marsh and woodlands. The landscape is roughly divided into two; a so-called techno-sphere with human activity and recreation, and a more bucolic biosphere in which the children take part in science and learning projects.

Each ecological area features a science station for experiments tailored to the different age groups. The stations hold education materials and equipment and have distinct identities; a marsh explorer, a bird house, a tool box for making transects, and an energy beacon. An exploration trail connects the stations and different landscape features.
