Standout features are the unique outdoor “surfboard” showers and custom-designed roof with large laminated beams mounted off unique concrete plinths. Dunes are retained by thick concrete walls to create space and access to the beach and seating, and a ramp was installed to make the toilets wheelchair-friendly.
The building has been designed to for easy maintenance and cleaning, especially around the removal of sand, and features the highest quality, most durable materials. It also serves to showcase PermaLoo’s scope of architectural design, and continues to attract positive feedback
“The PermaLoo concept design proposals, which the council accepted, offered by far the best compromise between low cost, high quality, functionality, robustness, and resistance to the corrosive seaside environment.”
