Floating above the marshland on a series of piers, the shelter includes an indoor pool, recreation areas, meeting rooms, and entertainment spaces. The structures’ angled, sloping roofs reflect the local vernacular of seaside huts and echo the marsh island typology. These rooftops slope upward in two directions to meet the sky, while also directing the eye toward the core of the structure. Anchoring the site, the clubhouse promotes the kind of experiences that have made this area a well-known and sought after travel destination.

Large windows and full-height expanses of diagonally wood-braced glass capture expansive views in all directions. A series of outdoor terraces and elevated decks surround the pavilion and provide space for enjoying the bay. Beyond the clubhouse, uninterrupted parking has been turned into private camping areas with landscaped green spaces, offering outdoor play and game areas. Modeled on an archipelago, the individual camp sites are linked by numerous walking trails with immediate access to unprecedented beachfront and water activities.

These trails buffer each camp from one another, while the camps themselves offer a layered series of amenities not found in typical regional campgrounds. Combining beachfront terraces and picnic areas, this mixture of outdoor access, natural beauty and community space forms a story of shared experience. As a sanctuary by the sea, the design builds a new space to connect with nature and the bay.
