📢 Exciting News! Aberrant Architecture's latest project takes us to Penarth, South Wales. 🏖️
We’ve designed a stunning seaside shelter where sustainability is woven into every detail, featuring reused elements and sustainable materials. 🌱
In true Aberrant style, the shelter showcases layers of local stories, including the delightful “donkeyhead" fretwork, reminiscent of the beloved donkey rides on the beach. 🐴
A heartfelt thank you to the Vale of Glamorgan Council, our incredible clients, and the talented team who made this project come to life. 🙌✨
We're thrilled to announce that the shelter is now open to the local community! Come and immerse
yourself in the inspiring design. 🌟

New public benches in Barry, Wales, reveal stories about local history, which was discovered by holding participatory workshops with the local community 😀⁠
‘BARRY SCRAPYARD’
“The little pink train in the train graveyard over the Docks” Workshop Participant. From the late 1950’s, many obsolete railway wagons were scrapped and cut up at the former West Pond site between Barry and Barry Island.
'G.I. BARRY'
“During World War 2, American forces used Barry as the main cargo port.” Workshop Participant⁠. The US Army built a large camp, Camp G-40, in 1942 for troops servicing the docks. Camp G-40 was a central supply depot for the invasion of Normandy in 1944.⁠
'BARRY BANANA' ⁠
"Eating fresh bananas off the Geest boats ... bananas, milk & sugar!" Workshop Participant. The Geest company used the docks to import West Indian bananas from the late 1950's until the 1980s. ⁠
