Royal Crescent, Grade II* listed terrace in Brighton, England
The Royal Crescent forms a curved row of fourteen houses along Brighton's seafront, featuring black glazed mathematical tiles and iron balconies throughout its structure.
Built between 1798 and 1807 by merchant J.B. Otto, this development marked the eastern boundary of Brighton until 1820 and introduced sea-facing architecture to the area.
The residences attracted notable inhabitants through history, including Foreign Secretary George Canning and actors Sir John Clements and Sir Laurence Olivier.
Each house spans four stories and contains first-floor verandas, while the gardens in front became public property under the Brighton Improvement Act of 1884.
The buildings feature mathematical tiles laid in an interlocking pattern that creates an iridescent effect in sunlight while protecting against coastal weather conditions.
