Grant Associates is set to work alongside Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios on the redevelopment of the western end of historic Bath Press site after being appointed by heritage developer City & Country.
The 5.3-acre site was acquired by family-owned City & Country in March of this year with an existing consent. City & Country will be partly delivering the consented scheme, with huge potential on the western end of the site for a significantly enhanced architectural solution that will provide more homes in this well-connected urban location.
Having worked with Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and Grant Associates in the past, City & Country was keen to work with them again as both their imagination and reputation will deliver a design fitting for this main route into Bath.
“Grant Associates is thrilled to be working with City & County and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios to reimagine the former Bath Press west site. This is a site layered in history, offering an important gateway into our home city and an amazing opportunity to bring it back to life. We’re excited at the prospect of working collaboratively and engaging with residents, and to bring our placemaking and landscape led residential experience to this important piece of the city.”
Keith French, Director of Grant Associates
The Bath Press site formerly housed the Pitman Press printing works, before becoming vacant in 2007 and undergoing demolition ten years later to allow for redevelopment. Situated within the World Heritage site boundary, residents of Bath Press will have access to the cultural and historic amenities in the city, including museums, galleries, theatres, and sports facilities.
