Design Challenge: Create an eco-friendly Sea Swim Shelter.


This fun project consists of building a temporary shelter for the brave sea swimm ers at Southsea seafront whom swim everyday near by the Briny Restaurant. With the old shelters getting a facelift, we need a creative, cozy spot for swimmers to change, chill, and shield themselves from the wind and rain. Craft a shelter that's all about being kind to our planet!

Think outside the box and use cool recycled stuff like old ad boards, bamboo, or even sails. It needs to be a swimmers' haven - where getting changed isn't a windy battle, and there's no rain on the parade.



Requirements


- Show us how green your design can be using mostly reused or recycled materials.

- Need to be wind and rainproof

- A spot where swimmers can switch from wetsuits to warm clothes safely

- Make it blend in with Southsea's vibe but stand out with style.

- Location to be based on the seafront promenade near by Baffled snack hut adjacent to Flood Defence Works near Briny, but final location can be anywhere.
