Mirrored Beach Hut

Mirrored Beach Hut

ECE Architecture als Architekten

A mirrored beach hut landed on Worthing beach this weekend.


Although it looked like a shiny UFO it was actually the work of local practiceECE Architecture, whowanted to create an art installation that would engage and delight the community. With the help ofMark Sephton from agency Creative Forager, they took a classic beach building and gave it a fresh twist.


It took a team of ECE staff six weeks to design and build the hut to typical Worthing beach hut specifications. They used laser-cut mirrored acrylic sheets applied to wooden panels finished with dark grey shadow gaps. The mirrored acrylic was affixedjust hours before joining it all together at 4amon Saturday morning.


Passers-by delighted in playing with the unusual reflections of the seafront and made the most of a surprising new photo opportunity.


ECE’s Managing Director, Stuart Eatock says “We were overwhelmed by the positive response from the public, I think this calls for a permanent installation!”


As word of mouth spread, local Facebook and Instagram groups descended on the beach to see what all the fuss was about. By Sunday afternoon, the mirrored beach hut had created a buzz in the town, filling social media with extraordinary selfies.
