Wooden ‘Islands’ Allow Beachgoers to Enjoy Rocky Coast
August 3, 2008 · Print This Article
Architect Vincent Guallart has come up with a way to access jagged, rocky oceanfront property that’s low impact and quite beautiful. These hexagonal wooden ‘islands’ were built along a rough coast in Spain to allow locals to enjoy the beach comfortably without any major construction. Guallart says they allow sunbathers and swimmers to enjoy a ‘previously nonexistent platform’.
Guallart is known for edgy, eye-catching designs, like this concept for the centerpiece of Polish city Wroclaw’s bid to host Expo 2012, a World’s Fair.
