A sketch model at 1:100 exploring a potential design type to be shared by all of the proposed structures included in the wider masterplan for Le Touquet sea front. This consists of a series of external structural A frames, which support the main body of the building; which coincidentally can be manufactured offsite and craned into position. They can also be subsequently replaced in order for a different or more suitable activity to be accommodated.
The concept impacts lightly upon the natural landscape and also continues the tradition of man-made verticality in the horizontal seaside landscape; found for example in ships masts and the wooden uprights of groynes. Typical seaside types such as deck chairs and wooden beach huts have also provided precedent.
