Even Goodwick possess major transportation infrastructure for the twin town, tourist treated Goodwick as just a place to ‘pass by’ due to the inadequacy of amenities in the town and an insufficient planning for the harbor. The vision of the programme is to create a new and attractive facilities for connecting the twin town to the landscape especially ‘the sea’, creating a leisure space that blend with the harbour environment and where everyone is welcomed. The architecture not only attract tourist to Goodwick, but also act as a strong piece of social infrastructure to connect with the community by introducing a community sauna, tidal pool, and Kayak/ Sailing club facilities on site. This transforms the place to a place where people can relax and enjoy different waterfront activities that experience the tide.
