Most Loved Online - 20A Black Street, Brighton
Share
Brighton’s streetscapes are dotted with impressive architecture. At the corner of Black and Carpenter Streets sits one of the area’s most distinctive buildings, designed by Merrylees Architecture & Interiors.
From the street, sculptural curves define the façade, breaking up the rigid geometry often associated with apartment buildings. Heavily planted surrounds by designer Jack Merlo further soften the form. These visual characteristics have made it our most-viewed property.

Inside ground-floor apartment 20A, the curves are more subtle. Rounded details appear in the bathroom vanities and soften the clean lines of the kitchen. Curved windows give you more of the view, and at the heart of the home, a fluid circular staircase is part sculpture, part passage.
The refined material palette – an elegant mix of white, marble, wool and limestone – works in harmony with the sculptural form of the architecture.
The residence fits an impressive amount of house within an apartment building. There’s simply more light, more space, more luxury than you might expect.

And the generosity continues: there are four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, including a master suite with a spa-like bathroom, deep soaking bath and underfloor heating. The designer kitchen has limestone benchtops and a full butler’s pantry. Large sliding doors open onto a pool terrace with a built-in barbecue, heated pool and spa.
The curves, the light, the space - together they create a residence that matches the character and prominence of its neighbourhood.
