The American Express Community Stadium, widely acclaimed for its design, was completed in time for the 2011/12 season. Nestled in the South Downs and bordering an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the stadium’s sweeping architectural form draws inspiration from the surrounding rolling hills.
It's strong popularity with fans led to the early implementation of a pre-planned expansion, increasing capacity by 8,000 to a total of 30,500 just two years after opening.
KSS has maintained a close collaboration with Brighton & Hove Albion, most recently designing a premium tunnel club beneath the west stand as part of ongoing stadium enhancements.
We work across a diverse range of projects and take pride in consistently delivering results through strong collaboration, learning from one another and providing support to achieve the best outcomes.
“This is a genuine community stadium and first and foremost, a real and spiritual home for Brighton.”
Martin Perry, Executive Director, BHAFC
