Burrell Foley Fischer are designing a new Beach House café for Great Yarmouth Borough Council. The café will be sited adjacent to the Grade II* Winter Gardens, which is currently undergoing restoration.
The new café will replace an existing building, whose envelope and architectural features do not meet current standards, especially in terms of energy performance, comfort and accessibility. It is envisaged to be open all day and early evening and provide a complementary food and beverage option to the catering at the Winter Gardens.
By redeveloping the café, GYBC can take significant design and commercial advantage of expanding the food & beverage offering and enhance the public realm opportunities by improving access to the seafront from the Golden Mile, a key heritage objective. The design provides a highly sustainable construction, complementing the Winter Gardens sustainability strategy.
Carl Smith, leader of Great Yarmouth Borough Council said:
"This will be another offer in the town and it is fantastic to bring this forward along with the revamp of the Winter Gardens."
The designs will now be developed ready to submit a Planning Application later in the year.
