Marine Gate, Art Deco apartment building in Brighton and Hove, England
The U-shaped Marine Gate features steel frame construction with white painted brick walls and round bathroom windows overlooking the English Channel from its clifftop location.
Built between 1937 and 1939, Marine Gate became Brighton's most targeted building during World War II, sustaining damage from 22 shells in a single attack in 1942.
Marine Gate represents a departure from Brighton's traditional Regency architecture, introducing International Style and Art Deco elements to the seafront landscape.
The building contains 132 residential units, converted from the original 105 flats and restaurant, offering accommodation exclusively for residents over 55 years old.
The entrance portals display distinctive Bauhaus colors of red, yellow, and blue, contrasting with the white exterior of this eight-story coastal structure.
