Architectural details of the new award-winning café at the end of Deal Pier, Kent. The elegant design by winning Architect, Niall McLaughlin, provided the most successful resolution to the complex demands of the café's highly exposed coastal location and was officially opened to the public in November 2008. The building’s structure is a series of trussed portal frames made of Iroko wood, with pinned feet to minimise load transfer to the existing pier structure. The frames were developed with Niall McLaughlin Architects to make use of standard length, triangulated timber ‘spars’ for a highly efficient and minimalist structure to resist the vertical, wind, and wave impact load. The individual lengths of Iroko were connected by stainless steel flitch plates, recessed into each joint. It has been short-listed for an award of the Stephen Lawrence Prize for Architecture by RIBA.
