East Beach Cafe - Thomas HetherwickSihting sands in Littlehampton was a brilliant lecture and very relevant to our current North Sea Faing projects. There were over twenty speakers covering a wide range of topics. Maria Smith from Studio Weave, was particularly interesting talking about a long scuptural bench she is creating for Littlehampton. The highlight of the day was Thomas Heathewick who spoke about the new East Beach Cafe which is replacing a kiosk on Littlehampton seafront. Located just ten minutes from the leacture hall, we visited it at lunchtime, after a having a paddle in the sea! The building is absolutley stunning. I love its curving forms and raw and weathered look. It fits to the location perfectly. Although still in the final stages of construction we are able to have a look at the space inside too.
