Reconnecting Gosport

A Water Sports Centre that reconnects the generations back to the coastline

This project is a response to the breif set for my third year design project, which encouraged us to think about generational living in relation to coastal heritage regeneration.

The design aims to reconnect the generations throughout Gosport through the use of water sports. It incorporates a range of different sports including sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming to enable people no matter their age to interact with the water that surrounds their town.

Designed to be located at the site of Fort Gilkicker the project aims to create lots of social and economic opportunities for the town. By tackling coastal heritage regeneration the building would provide a platform to boost tourism as well as community engagement, therefore providing a more sustainable future for the town and its coastline. Regenerating the area through my design would also allow people to learn about the past of the area which would enable a more prosperous future for the town.
