Thomas Heatherwick beach cafe takes shape
Sneak preview: A beach cafe designed by Thomas Heatherwick is taking shape on the seafront at Littlehampton on the south coast of England. Two of the four welded steel components are now on site.
Called East Beach Cafe, the project is due to open in early 2007. Keep an eye on the cafe's website for more photo updates.
