SANDLAND

by Kopal Halway

‘Sandland’ is a new feature of Margate’s amusement park Dreamland, designed to restore local vitality and attract more people from local community and other visitors to the town. The programme is a fish and chip shop with an architectural fusion of local landscapes. The most distinctive feature of the restaurant is the use of sand as the material for the ground floor, creating a potential spatial landscape for the restaurant, bringing Margate’s beach into the building so that people can continue to enjoy the feeling of being on the beach indoors.
