Chris Dyson Architects has completed a new cafe in south London's CrystalPalace Park that references recreation space's famous grade 1-listed dinosaur statues. The two-storey lakeside building is wrapped in half-round cedar shingles, the design of which Dyson said was inspired by the scales on the Victorian-era sculptures on the opposite side of the water. On the ground floor, the cafe can seat 60 customers inside with a further 50 outside. It also provides public toilets and a service kiosk. On the first floor, the building offers multi-purpose community space that can seat 60.
