Tram Shed Conversion
Bath, Somerset
This sensitive renovation transformed a former tram shed in the heart of Bath into a series of spacious, high-quality apartments—including a striking new penthouse. Set within a heritage building overlooking the city, the design makes the most of its elevated position with generous roof terraces and panoramic views across the World Heritage skyline.
I was involved throughout, from early concept design and planning through to technical detailing and on-site construction support. Bath’s layered architectural history provides a rich context for residential projects like this—where thoughtful, context-driven design can bring new life to old structures without losing their character.
The existing entrance canopy roof and fascias were refreshed with new powder coated aluminium.
Several new rooftop terraces were created serving the high level apartments, providing stunning views over the world heritage city of Bath.
The private terraces are furnished with high quality decking and bespoke glass balustrades and privacy screens.
Working with the developers own interior design team we created a series of luxurious living spaces for each apartment.
This penthouse apartment features a fantastic open plan kitchen, dining and living space. Unique sloping glass windows give panoramic views over the city.
Bedrooms were organised efficiently between the existing window panels. Built in storage is provided along with thoughtful use of internal finishes.
Bespoke kitchens were provided by the developer client with carefully planned lighting design adding the finishing touches.
Many of the bedroom spaces are provided with their own private rooftop terraces and fantastic views.
Large bathrooms and ensuites furnish many of apartments. Use of high quality materials and sensitive selection of finishes by the skilled interior design team completes the look.
The floor layout is arranged efficiently around the existing grid system of the building, making the best use of existing windows, stairs and lifts to reduce the intervention required to the existing period property.
