A cafe with a view

Article Abstract:

Apicella Associates faced a great challenge in designing a new, second-floor restaurant in the Oxo Tower on the south bank of the River Thames in London, UK. The restaurant, which opens in July 1996, provides a natural upper-level extension to the riverside walkway. Apicella's task was to retain the original warehouse structure, which was dark and resembled a tunnel, while still creating a design offering the lightness of a riverside cafe. Apicella also had to keep to a tight budget.
