Bateman’s Tower Café, Brightlingsea

An innovative design and build project was undertaken to construct Bateman’s Tower Café, which has been situated at the furthermost point of Brightlingsea’s coastline for over 40 years, with a view to spearheading a major regeneration of the sea front area whilst maintaining an alfresco dining and user experience. Already an integral part of the local community and part of the social fabric, this prestigious café development involved the design of an amphibious building that could withstand the regular buffeting by high winds and wintry temperatures on a busy sea front.
