Modern Architecture in the UK - East Beach Cafe

With seating for 60 and an unlimited creativity, this ultra-contemporary, ultra-creative design by London-based architect Thomas Heatherwick of Heatherwick Studio attracts crowds as much for its architecture as it does for its fares. The East Beach Cafe sits in a serene, seaside setting in Littlehampton, UK, where its become a local landwark thanks to Heatherwick’s innovative approach to design. “The studio saw its challenge as being to produce a long, thin building without flat, two-dimensional facades,” according to the architect. The result is a series of layers, “sliced diagonally into ribbons” that fold over the structure and open to the sea beyond. Glass doors and windows, which can be closed off with rolling shades, offer an unobstructed view while flooding the space with natural light. Heatherwick Studio.
