The Amex Community Stadium, City of Brighton & Hove
The award winning Amex Community Stadium for Brighton & Hove Albion FC was completed in time for the 2011-12 season and has proven to be a widely acclaimed success. Indeed the new facility has proven so popular with fans that the club have commissioned KSS to design a further 8,000 seats within the established envelope.
The site in Falmer lies next to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the South Downs, and this in turn inspired the sweeping architectural form of the stadium. The stands nestle into the landscape, and the curved roof structure and cladding evoke the forms of the rolling hill backdrop.
"This will be a genuine community stadium, and first and foremost, a real and spiritual home for Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club." Martin Perry, Chief Executive, BHAFC
