The
Friends of Embassy Court has been set up by a group of local enthusiasts
who have a passion for the building and the modern architectural
ideals embodied in its design by its creator Wells Coates. They
are concerned that this Grade II* Listed building of international
significance should be saved from decrepitude and restored for the
local community and nation as a whole. The aim of the Friends is to raise awareness of the architectural status of Embassy Court and to help restore it to its former glory and re-establish it as Brighton's most important 20th century building. The Friends wish to preserve Embassy Court as an architectural landmark and make it a place for Brighton residents and visitors to access information about the building and modern architecture, and appreciate Wells Coates' innovative vision for seaside living.
The Friends believe that Brighton's Embassy Court could become a
centre for events, lectures and exhibitions about Modernism and
are investigating innovative ideas for public use within the building.
If
you wish to become a Friend, make a donation, or simply want to
show your support, please email the Friends directly at friends@embassycourt.org The group behind the Friends believe that Embassy Court is a significant part of Brighton's architectural heritage and should be restored and conserved in a way that can benefit all the City's residents and visitors. Embassy Court is a rare example of Coates' work and British modernist architecture that should be accessible for all to appreciate.
The Friends of Embassy Court operates entirely separately from the
building's owners (Bluestorm Limited). Their focus will be on the
conservation of original features and spaces which will be open
to public view. The
Friends include a number of local people, some who occupy or own
flats within the building, others come from an arts and heritage
background and have a love for the Embassy Court building and architecture. |

Potential projects include the reinstatement of original architectural
features that will be open to public view. Another ambition is the
development of spaces within Embassy Court for public uses such
as an archive, exhibition room, an authentically restored and furnished
flat, performance space, meeting room and associated gift shop and
café. Read more about the building on our
