Having a ball
MAB Corporation’s beach ball was installed last month, providing a creative solution to wind tunnels in NewQuay.
The five-metre high sphere was designed by The Quays architects McBride Charles Ryan and has been installed between Harbour One and The Quays.
It’s designed to appear as if a beach ball has blown in between the two buildings and acts as a wind-stopper while also serving as a gateway for pedestrian access to Marmion Way.
