Sea Village is a conceptual project proposing sustainable design of temporary housing for surfers. A living unit, tetrahedron-shaped hut, is made mostly of bamboo, salvaged wood, and thrashed surfboards. The master plan of the village is an aggregation of 100 modules connected together by a promenade that extends in a straight line from the shore outwards. Alternatively, modules can be combined into clusters or exist as stand-alone units. //Life in the village system is organized across two levels: a lower floor, four meters above sea level, contains walkways and stairs that run the length of the development; above the promenade are the actual residences. Each has an area of about 100 square feet (30 square meters) and includes a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom located above the staircase. To allow the units to function off-grid, Colella and Barberio conceived a system of mini-turbines and rooftop solar panels. This hybrid system of locally sourced materials, non-invasive energy acquisition, and communally adaptive infrastructure makes the Lanterns Sea Village an insightful perspective into the adaptive possibilities of oceanfront architecture and design.//
