embassy court

brighton's finest building is the 20th century society's building of the month. it seems the revelopment is making some intresting discoveries about the building's decor, assumed to be as purist as the isokon.

"The refurbishment of Embassy Court has revealed many of its secrets. Paint research has shown that the walls were a sparkling cream with white marble chippings and the windows a sludgy red colour, with pink cill tiles. These, combined with the original jazzy entrance doors, suggest a more Deco feel to the building than arch-modernists might care to acknowledge"
