Sea X Row (Interior Major Project) – Nkem Usiade | Page 7

Sea x row
Sea x Row is a facility that pays tribute to the previous
existing Southsea rowing club. In reading the
history of the club from being wooden boat house
to a rowing club. The club is the one of the oldest
clubs in Portsmouth (150 years). The character of
the building itself was dying. To bring back life to
the space and the sea front I plan to design a new
scheme that will shift the space from being unaccessible
to being a fun and fitness filled experience
to the public.
