Tideline
Tideline is a proposed community centre with a mobile home park at Cramond Beach, where the rhythm of low and high tides shapes the shore. It’s designed to offer van lifers a welcoming space to connect with nature, themselves, and one another. The project fosters community, mindfulness, and exploration by blending modern comforts with a minimalist approach. It aims to create a homely, inspiring retreat that honours the coast's natural beauty, but also its layered history, and supports a lifestyle of freedom and reflection, where, in moments of stillness, life begins to crystallise, like the tide-worn patterns forming along the footpath.
