This series of posts contains some initial considerations and ideas regarding how Le Touquet could be transformed in terms of a wider master plan; which engages with the town and surrounding landscape as a whole.
Some initial proposals involve:
The re-connection of the various, currently separated, areas within the town and landscape; primarily focusing on providing a series of physical and visual links between the town and the sea edge.
Providing a series of focal points at the end of these routes, that either draw elements of the town out onto the sea edge such as hotels, a conference centre, leisure facilities and observation towers as well as a reengagement with the nature landscape through open spaces and piers.
Breaking up the barrier between the sea and the town, which currently is in the form of the concrete expanse of the promenade and road system, instead providing pedestrian based, natural spaces and integrating a new tram link.
Developing a bold but contextually based design language that defines new interventions as part of a whole.
