Residential:
North Parade Buildings, Bath
Set in the heart of Bath this terrace of four; six storey town houses was up until recently used by Bath City Council as office accommodation. We were approached by OIKOS Architects to carry out the building control details for the conversion along with overseeing operations on site in a consultancy capacity.
The Grade II listed buildings which make up this terrace have been transfomed to their former glory with a contemporary twist to the interior works with free standing granite marble wash hand basins and contemporary kitchen fittings whilst renovating the existing mouldings, cornices, ceiling roses, and timber panelling. Pictures to follow.
