RESTORATION AND REFURBISHMENT OF No 1 & 1A ROYAL CRESCENT, BATH

We were commissioned by The Bath Preservation Trust to conserve and renovate this historically important Grade I Listed building which is the first of thirty terraced houses set within a commanding sweeping crescent, built to the designs of John Wood the Younger between 1767 and 1775.  Constructed in local Bath stone with a uniform Palladian façade The Royal Crescent is one of Bath’s most iconic landmarks and we were thrilled to be awarded this prestigious contract to enable our client’s vision to become reality.

The major redevelopment project included a complete refurbishment of the town house as well as making alterations to reconnect the main house to its original service wing which had been separated from the property.  Major restoration and conservation of the buildings fabric also took place in order to form a new extended museum with an interior layout and style in keeping with the period 1776 to 1796, to allow visitors to get a very real sense of what it would have been like living at the property during this era.  Our skilled and dedicated site team accomplished an outstanding result which surpassed our client’s expectations and the Museum is now a firm favourite with visitors to the Georgian city.
