Broad Street
Bath

A new, independent wing was added (most people don’t appreciate the site added 50% to the original mass) stitched to the existing structure, while the Portland stone façade remained. Original ogee arches were added, with carved rosettes, crenelated parapets, gabled buttresses and fluted columns, all of which chimed seamlessly with the building’s bombastic Gothic style. To the visitor, it appears a singular expression - respecting its past and future - a romantic silhouette. Interiors in the suites and public spaces evoke a domestic interior and the imaginative arrangement of spaces revives the former derelict building, within the programme of a luxury hotel.

A memory of London’s treasured historic fire stations remains, whilst continuing the narrative of the history for the future. The success of the hotel has changed the neighbourhood into becoming one of the most desirable locations in London.
