Settled at the shoreline, with sandstone cliffs to provide a natural backing: shelter and outlook over the water.
The shelter mimics the form of the Oyster Shell (Gadyan, in local Gadigal language). The shelter is assembled from curved T-section beams, supporting a copper clad exterior and acrylic interior. This roof is supported by short RHS beams, fixed together and drilled into the sandstone rock. This system maintains the structural items to the exterior, and allows for easy assembly given inaccessible location.
