Cube 19
The emergency from COVID-19 has changed the spaces where we live. Cube 19 is a new way of reinterpreting beach life by putting customer safety at the forefront while offering a cost-effective solution, valid for any type of beach and anywhere in the world.

Entrance, exit and use of the beach are organized according to horizontal and vertical paths. Vertical circulation (entrance and exit) is regulated through one-way walkways 1.5 m wide. The 3-meter-wide horizontal circulation is divided by a low separator, obtaining two directions. Access to the individual units is arranged acc... More
