I wish the ‘Cork Block Shelter’ included a ramp rather than stairs-that is an easy move that would have made the place accessible.

I am also not a fan of movable parts on buildings–especially really small ones. The flip up sun screen is one thing, but the slide out balcony/bed just complicates the building envelope for little advantage. How do you detail that so it doesn’t leak air and water?

The SeaShelter strikes me as an inherently BAD idea. Why subject your building to the wave action when you could move it up the beach and avoid those structural and waterproofing requirements? Further, since it appears to be primarily concrete, there is a lot of embodied energy in the material and construction expense to achieve that form.

A.E I AGREE!

MRF why are they so bad?
to me these are REAL designs that could work, not crazy, flashy, computer generated pieces of rubbish that will never leave the pc and become realised…

take a look at http://www.boidus.co.uk for some good quality design

Your comments say more about you than the objects of your critiques. If you’re so desperate for your voice to be heard, then give REASONS, not one-liners, hit-and-run, childish responses.
