Providing storage for water sports equipment at Camp Fircom, Gambier Island, this intervention seeks to expand a storage space into a field condition of pod structures. By introducing spaces of ‘many’ allows the users, (which in this case are mostly the kids at camp) to integrate their own use for the pods allowing for a multitude of play to occur in and around them. The unique form of the pods instructs a new typology of storage for many of the devices such as the paddle boards, which are stood up rather than stacked, as well as the spinal boards which are stored the same way. In order to accommodate for this the forms are dilated parametrically to allow for necessary clearances, as well as certain openings to the sun and shade alike. It’s name comes from the revealed shape of the dilations, which mimic that of the scutes of turtle shells.
