This project aims to provide a temporary resting space for visitors and locals in the site. The site, Kew Balmy Beach, is only 6 miles away from Toronto. There are many visitors and tourists to the beach, but there is no adequate structure to signify the place. The project, using the local materials available in the site and referring the local references such as igloo, aims to provide site-specific shelter.
Round form creates warm atmosphere in the middle of the beach. It is very important during the winter. The strong wind during the winter often requires a wind shelter for the visitors.
Only 6mile away from Toronto, Kew Balmy Beach is a beautiful lake side beach for residents and tourists. Straight long beach of giant lake Ontario gives a feeling of being at the ocean.
