Ocean City Comfort Station and Performing Arts Stage, Ocean City, Maryland

Client: Town of Ocean City - In Permitting

This stage and restroom facility is aiming for LEED certification through the use of innovative mechanical systems, vegetated roofs, and local and non-toxic materials. The solar chimneys will ventilate and de-humidify the restrooms without any mechanical systems. The roof is to be planted with beach grasses, turning the entire building into an artificial dune.

The chimneys and sail will be dramatically lit with colored lights at night, providing a landmark to pedestrians on the boardwalk.
