20a The Droveway is private residence was designed by Alan Phillips Architects in Brighton, United Kingdom as a simple pavilion with long views to the sea. The concept of 20a The Droveway house in Brighton was to refer back to the vocabulary of early modernism, then use contemporary technology to create a progressive variation that arbitrated between idealism and the functionalist tradition of coastal architecture. The building is over two levels and arranged in three parts, two bedroom wings at either end of the house connected by a double height sitting room at the centre.

Protecting the entrance is a garage and guesthouse beside a series of largely windowless walls. As the house addresses a private garden it begins to ‘unfold’ becoming transparent as the aesthetic system transfers from a hierarchy of solid over void, to one of void over solid.
