Beach Hut Stores

We were asked to remove a number of tired, old leaky sheds. In their place we installed a neat row of seven hand-painted beach huts. Each hut was erected on an elevated concrete base, with ground channel drains fitted between, diverting rainwater away from the subframes. Each hut was neatly fitted out with purpose-built shelving, accommodating the wide range of equipment being stored. Outside the kitchen doors, we placed a row of upcycled fibreglass planting troughs – so the kitchen staff could grow fresh herbs to use in their cooking. We hand painted the planters to emulate the bright colours used for the huts.
