Embassy Court is a corroding Art Deco masterpiece that was one of the most desirable and sought-after addresses in Brighton and Hove.

Built in 1935 and designed by Wells Coates this, 1930s Art Deco building once housed its own restaurant and bank. Writers, comedians and film stars inhabited its penthouse suites and its brochure listed it as Britain’s first tenant block to offer garage space for an automobile.

Sadly, it has suffered from years of neglect and tenant –landlord writs that have left its once streamlined, silky exterior crumbling and in desperate need of more than a little TLC.

A mixture of pride, anger and optimism persist in residents and locals over at the ever-changing fate of this important building.
