Roof-top synagogue, Private Orthodox synagogue in Brunswick Terrace, Hove, England

The synagogue occupies the rooftop of 26 Brunswick Terrace, featuring an octagonal structure with glass walls and a dome above a glass room.

Philip Salomons commissioned this private synagogue in 1852 following a fire, creating debate about the legitimacy of private worship spaces in the community.

The synagogue contained a collection of antique Judaica and followed the Ashkenazi ritual traditions for religious services during its active period.

The small interior space provided bench seating for six people along the edges, maintaining an enclosed setting for private worship and contemplation.

The structure incorporates an octagonal dome that replicates the design of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, visible from the coastal promenade.
