We won a national architectural competition for a new café on the beach at Silecroft Beach in the southwest corner of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria. After several covid-related delays we started on site in February 2023.
The site is overlooked by Black Combe Fell to the north and gives spectacular views across the Irish Sea towards the Isle of Man!
