Designed by the well-known architectural firm based in Eastbourne H Hubbard Ford, this apartment building dates from 1934. Ford was a pupil of Sir Albert Richardson and was responsible for much post-war planning and reconstruction in Brighton, and well-mannered mid-20th Century Modern style buildings such as Barclays Bank in Eastbourne. This block has simple white-rendered elevations, the façade well-articulated by a recessed central bay with curved sides giving it an art-deco flavour, brise-soleil style canopies project above the entrance and above the central recess, the lift tower above the parapet forming a third streamlined feature. The sage-green painted quadrant and semi-circular fluted vertical features add to the deco appearance. | Designed by the well-known architectural firm based in Eastbourne H Hubbard Ford, this apartment building dates from 1934.
