M&S Foodhall, Littlehampton

The two storey unit has an open double-height space at its western end announcing the customer entrance. The double-height space continues outside to the main canopy which covers the external entrance and the external cafe seating area at the western end of the unit, next to the entrance.
The roof is a simple barrel vault. This simplicity of form and economy of means continues in the use of a small number of good quality materials on the external elevations. These include a split-face masonry which is pulled away to 'reveal' the glazed shopfront on the western ends of the North and South elevations. The masonry walls extend across both sides of the service yard to help shield the more functional activities here. The remainder of the building treated in contrasting dark & light metal cladding.
