Saltdean

Saltdean near Brighton has some beautiful buildings, I have been there once as my friend lives there but I really must return and investigate further!

Firstly Saltdean Lido, image from the RIBA architecture.com website:

Then this old hotel, now converted to apartments:

And finally this building that caught my eye when I was there:

The East Beach Cafe, Littlehampton

A very inspiring and unusual piece of architecture on the South Coast - it is great to see something different that has been designed with imagination and flair, I do get very bored of the same red brick blocks of flats going up everywhere... I think this was inspired by driftwood and I have always wanted to find a beautiful sculptural piece of driftwood on the beach but no luck yet!

The story of the building is here and I might add, the food is great! It does get busy though...!
