Stargazer's Cabin

The Stargazer’s Cabin a winner at Eastbourne

We are very excited to announce that The Stargazer’s Cabin has been selected as one of the four winning entries in Eastbourne Borough Council’s The Huts international competition. The winners were revealed at a gala event in Eastbourne on the 16th of March and the results made public in a feature in The Sunday Times on the 20th of March.
The Stargazer’s Cabin features a laser cut façade perforated with thousands of small holes which are precisely mapped to form the star constellations of the night sky. LED lights mounted behind illuminate the perforations creating a beacon on the beach. Check back soon for more details on The Stargazer’s Cabin’s impending construction.

GKA make longlist for ‘The Huts’

George King Architects are among 12 practices longlisted for The Huts, a competition launched earlier in the year to find ‘iconic designs for bespoke beach huts’ to be commissioned for the Devonshire Ward in Eastbourne. The competition, which was open to all registered architects, will now proceed to a shortlisting phase, where eight designs will be chosen and revealed to the public who will have the chance to vote for their favorite.
This is GKA’s second foray into the beach hut typology, having previously created beach huts made of steel on Bondi and Cottesloe beach in Australia: http://georgekingarchitects.com/projects/
