Milford-on-Sea Beach Huts

The beach huts in Milford-on-Sea (UK) provide a storm shelter for the community during a 1/200 event. After the original beach huts were severely damaged during a huge storm in 2014, the 119 beach huts were replaced. In the process, Milford's beachfront was also renovated. Designed by Snug Architects in collaboration with artists Paul Bulkeley and Ryan Bond, the colorful structure defends against the onrushing waters. The promenade was moved to the roof of the beach huts. This shifts the visitor's perspective upwards and opens up an unobstructed view of the sea.
