Migrating Frame: A Public Threshold for Montauk Beach

Downtown Montauk sits defensive against the beach lacking public access downtown with a series of parallel motels and hotels leaving limited and minimal access points along with limited infrastructure in the close blocks to the beach including bathrooms, restaurants, etc. Additionally, with the active state of beach erosion, particularly in the downtown blocks where dune had been cleared in the 1950s the project needs to be able to walk inland and retreat island - allowing the threshold to remain at the end of town and beach. The project leverages its modularity to allow for this movement incrementally or in larger steps providing a new threshold for montauk beach via a pair of modular structures supporting a boardwalk, public program, and lodging framing and providing a new gate to the beach on South Edgemere.
