East Beach Cafe: London

There I was planning my bank holiday weekend trip to the coast to check out this great Beach Cafe only to find out that it wont be ready until the New Year, check out the pictures of the structure being built on their website. Thomas Heatherwick’s beautiful new beach cafe is the latest addition to the UK’s burgeoning collection of innovative seafront architecture. Heatherwick has been best known for his superb sculptures such as his amazing blue carpet in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The exterior of his latest design, his first building in the UK, is modeled on driftwood and will house a traditional English cafe serving locally produced food and seaside favorites, potted shrimps and cockles. Located in the traditional West Sussex town of Littlehampton, it is perfectly placed for beach fun and walks inland on the stunning South Downs.
