I’ve been looking for inspiration and examples of existing
fish & chip shops, restaurants or sea side cafes. I have previously posted
about ‘Kerbisher & Malt’ this is just another blog post to share some of
the design ideas I like. It has given me an idea of what I am looking for and
what I want in a site so hopefully that will help.
West Beach Café. Asif Khan. – Indoor/Outdoor.
I like the way the front of the building can open up on a
warm sunny day connecting the interior with the sea. The guests will be able to
smell the seaside, enjoy the sea air and the views.
East Beach Café. Thomas Heatherwick. – Seaside inspiration.
The exterior of this building just looks like a beach and I
love that this is where the inspiration has come from. The shape and colour has
a real impact on the landscape. To me it looks like a rock on the beach or the
marks on the sad just where the waves hit the shore – it makes me think
seaside. The interior looks cooling and bright, it reminds me of the inside of
a cave or the inside of a shell.
The Smokehouse. Pringle Richards Sharratt. – Re working a warehouse.
The smokehouse has brought together three different areas; a
takeaway, a café, and a guest house. I like that the different areas have been
combined to work as one and link together with the same theme. I really enjoy
the industrial look of the building and the floor to ceiling windows.
