Cafe-Bar, Deal Pier
YEAR
2008
Photographers: (c) Crispin Hughes; (c) Nick Kane; (c) Niall McLaughlinDeal Pier is a bare bones structure. It could be compared to the skeleton of a beached whale or the ribcage of a ship. We discussed the ideal setting for a cup of tea, or supper at the end of the pier. Most of us would prefer to sit on an empty deck on a windless balmy afternoon and enjoy the panorama of the sky, sea and light. We decided that the café should preserve this quality and it should do so in a bare bones sort of way.The café building is exposed to the full force of the maritime environment and the choice of materials is important. Hardwood and mass concrete weather best and are improved with exposure. The hardwood will turn silver grey to match the concrete of the pier.To minimise cost, the building has a rectangular form with repeating bays. The glazed café is located at the south end of the building and maximises views. Cool air is drawn through the underside of the deck and out through roof vents. A wind turbine, used to help power the building in use, will dump heat into benches for use by the anglers at night.
