Housing with touches of art deco in Sale, 2025

Squint and pretend you can’t see the uPVC!

A three-story brick apartment building with white accents and a central entrance. There are multiple windows on each floor, some with satellite dishes. A small front lawn, paved path, low brick wall, and a street sign are visible in the foreground under a clear sky.

Bristol & West House, Bournemouth, 2024

A curved corner brick building with many windows under a bright sun, casting shadows. Several cars are parked along the street, and a few people walk on the sidewalk, including a person pushing a stroller. The sky is mostly clear with a few clouds.

A four-story building features brown brick walls and large, rectangular windows with green vertical panels between some windows. A white awning extends above the entrance, labeled Bristol & West House, under a clear blue sky.

A tall, art deco building with Bristol & West House on the top, features curved brickwork, tall windows, and a Be At One cocktail bar on the ground floor. People walk nearby under a clear blue sky, with leafy trees framing the right side.

Walking away from the Bournemouth Echo building, we were distracted by Bristol & West House, a 1958 art deco building. Originally it must’ve been offices + retail, with the upper floors being converted to become the plainest apartments imaginable in 2015. Externally it’s a very fine building, however.
