Boscombe Beach Huts - deadline 26th June 2009
28/04/09
Search is on for accessible beach hut designers
Professional artists, architects and designers are being invited to submit bold and dramatic concepts to reinvent a row of beach huts specifically for disabled beach users in Bournemouth, Dorset
The new huts will form a key part of Boscombe Sea Change, a government funded scheme, which will deliver the UK’s only purpose-designed accessible beach facilities. Other projects underway include a seasonal beach access trackway made from recycled pier timbers, enabling visitors with mobility impairments to access the beach down to the waterline. Improvements to accessible parking in front of the new huts and a refurbishment of the accessible public toilet will also take place in time for summer 2009.
The new huts will replace standard beach huts located next to Coasters restaurant, to the west of Boscombe Pier and will be more spacious both inside and out.
For copies of the design brief please contact Andrew Emery, Boscombe Sea Change Project Manager, on 01202 451782 or email Andrew.emery@bournemouth.gov.uk. The deadline for submission of written questions is Friday 29th May 2009, with submission of models to arrive by Friday 26th June 2009.
