The FLIP-FLOP box creates an iconic modern seaside structure that is highly adaptable and flexible, accommodating a wide range of group sizes and is fully accessible. When closed the simple ply cubes supporting the dynamic sinusoidal rolling ribbon roof make an elegant addition to the seafront. The beach huts take the form of four plywood cubes elevated above pavement level to enhance privacy, minimise the visual intrusion of the adjacent road and car parking and enhance views of the beach and the sea, especially when sitting down. The deck that surrounds the huts on all sides allows access to each hut from the rear and provides amenity space to both the front and side of each unit. The sailcloth roof provides shelter from the elements, protecting the full footprint of the deck.
