Here is an Idea for the Sketch-Up and Guggenheim shelter competition. It is a fold up beach shack, where all the wall and floor panels are constructed off site from galvanized steel C and H sections with crushed bamboo sheet cladding. The roof has been designed to collect rainwater from the fixed and moving roof panels. Solar panels on the roof allow for power generation. A loft space accessible from the built in wall ladder allows for 2 people to sleep comfortably. The selected site is a rocky headland just off the surf break at Nai Harn beach, Phuket Island, Thailand. The design responds to the all year mild climate by being completely op-enable catching all the cooling breezes and allowing for uninterrupted views of the magnificent Andaman Sea. www.guggenheim.org
