THE BULWARK
DESIGN
The design of this project was initially inspired by a concrete rock found on the site that leads to be a concrete foundation for the building as a lifeguard tower is best positioned higher than ground level in order to have better coverage.
SECTION VIEW
The height of the foundation can be determined by the tides; the water level will rise to approximately six feet, which can make the concrete foundation to be utilized as tide pool. The lifeguard tower itself is designed to be built one foot higher than the tide pool so that it will be always above the water level and only minimum amount of sea water will enter the building.
