Herbstarchitects created a beach shelter on a site that is small and narrow (16x52m) and set back from the beach amongst a number of similar sites strung on either side of a dead end access road. The building is made up of 3 primary elements; a wall, a so-called 'container' and the negative space between them. To cope with the neighboring buildings along both long boundaries, the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, lounge and the boat garage are grouped into a long container-like structure and positioned along the eastern boundary. On the western boundary, the Architects created a gabion wall made of stone from a local quarry to define the edge. These 2 elements are connected by a roof structure which is the covered living deck. Retractable screen walls on the north and south faces of the living deck allow protection from the prevailing winds.
