The Atlantic Beach Bathing Pavilion is a new bathing facility supporting  the Atlantic Beach boardwalk. Despite its humble program, it possesses a generous civic spirit that provides public space and serves the practical needs of the beach community.

The building is composed of a light timber frame on piers, and elevated above the protected coastal ecology of Atlantic Beach. Columns carry a latticed shading structure that embraces two volumes containing public restrooms. Showers are located outdoors under the lattice, catching prevailing ocean breezes.

The broad roof structure unites a generous open deck that serves as a meeting point for beach visitors. Throughout the day, the rough timber cladding and decking are cast with oblique shadows that counterpoint the building’s symmetry.
