Summary of Design Proposal
The scheme will create a magical, unostentatious, focal point at a critical point on Worthing’s sea front promenade. The scheme draws from, and enhances, the strong existing context of the views, the beach and the promenade.
The materials blur the boundaries between the existing beach character of shingle and boulders by repeating the materials as paving and seating elements. The focal point is a simple water feature. A circular array of fifty spray jets will be mounted in the pavement, their fine mist will create a cushion of water droplets which will scatter light to create a subtle real rainbow suspended at the heart of the scheme. This low key, but beautiful, feature will create a visual focus, a cooling micro climate and a play feature in hot weather.
In addition to the central feature a grove of tamarisk trees provide shelter and seasonal colour with seating for all ages to enjoy the views within the site and to the distant views beyond. An informal path on the seaward side of the wall will link two timber boardwalks for accessible seating and uninterrupted views out to sea. The new scatter of boulders and the inside face of the sea wall will be etched with texts and images provided by local artists and the community. Speakers Corner will provide a stage for orators but also a horizontal black board for text and image statements and a night time screen for projected art work by the community and local artists.
