Ingrained in Australia’s national identity and way of life is our unique beach culture and love of the sun, sand, surf and sea. It is here where our fondest childhood memories conjure up summers running over the hot sand, chasing windswept umbrellas up the beach, dodging the myriad of cricket games on the way to the water and of course the afternoon pilgrimage to grab an ice-cream. It is here where the kiosk came into its own and dutifully rewarded the sun kissed beachgoers.
It is this authentic experience that the Third Wave Kiosk has strived to capture, not only through its engagement with beach culture, but also through its respect for its environmental setting; its strength in character and resilience; and its attention to modest and elegant simplicity.
Designed to assimilate into its beachside location through its play on height, profile, material and colour, the kiosk sculpturally responds to its setting through its use of recycled sheet piles, allowing the building to touch the ground lightly and take on a sculptural quality which blends in with the surrounding environment and shrouds the utilitarian function of the working core.
