A BANANA-SHAPED pool, a curved glass events studio and over 100 different works of art are just some of the things found at a new seafront private members’ club, pictures reveal.
Brighton Beach House, located in a Grade II-listed terrace in Madeira Drive, is the first Soho House to open in Sussex, overlooking the beach near the Palace Pier.
Pictures from the venue show some of the club’s new facilities, including a retro-feel terrace looking out to sea, a stone-topped bar, and Soho House’s own Venetian-inspired restaurant, Club Cecconi’s.
The venue’s interior has taken inspiration from the surrounding seaside location and Art Deco architecture and has been furnished with a combination of vintage furniture and specially-designed pieces, with local suppliers, craftsmen and artists contributing to the space.
The club also boasts a range of different artworks in the form of two bespoke collections; the Local Collection - made up of work from artists born, based or trained in Brighton and its surroundings, and the Brighton Beacon Collection - comprised of pieces from LGBTQ+ artists from around the world in homage to the city’s continuing role as a beacon for the LGBTQ+ community.
Speaking to The Argus in March, founder and chief executive of Soho House Nick Jones said: “So many of our existing members live in Brighton, so it seemed like a natural step to open a local House in the city.
“It is a brilliant place, full of progressive spirit that our members love.”
The new venue in Brighton is a first for the club - becoming their first Soho House on the coast.
The club is also connected by a courtyard to a new coworking space called Soho Works, which is due to open later this year.
Those looking to enjoy some of the new venue’s facilities will have to apply for membership for Soho House, which can cost more than £200 a month with a £500 one-off registration fee.
Founded in 1995, Soho House operates clubs across the world in a range of cities, including Barcelona, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and New York.
