Coastal Conquest

Insula Ambla, a spa at the intersection of landscapes

Samenvatting

Design for a spa at the intersection of landscapes. With the sea level rise due to climate change, the traditional way of keeping the island save, by building dikes, will eventually become unaffordable. With farsightedness, twenty-five years ago an experiment with dynamic costal management was started at the far east side of the island, where the dike was allowed to wash away. By dropping sand from the deep North Sea close to the northern costal line, and allowing that sand to be blown deep onto the island by removing some vegetation from the dunes, the natural dynamics of the island were enhanced. Now this test site has shown its merits: the island is growing instead of shrinking. The project offers unique qualities of experiencing nature. It is designed as a landscape. Fluent lines and natural materials are guiding the user along the different views, baths and other wellness functions.
