Studiomama is based in London and owned by the designer Nina Tolstrup. She trained as a designer at the prestigious Les Ateliers school of industrial design in Paris and has a BA in Marketing from the Business School in Copenhagen.
The “beach chalet” Nina Tolstrup designed for her own family as a possibility of escaping from London-stress into green space and as a place for inspiration. At this beach in Whitstable there is a row of 25 chalets lining the beach and the plot for this little building is in the middle.
The structure is built on galvanised steel stilts to prevent flooding. The total floor area is 35 square metres, plus a deck front and back. The beach chalet is designed for a family of four, with bunk beds for the kids and a mezzanine platform for the parents. There is a kitchen and bathroom, and a wood burner in the living space. The cladding is made of wood with cedar tiles.
A huge window focuses the view to the sea. The sea view is the focus of the simple living space.
