Preserving historic fabric, injecting character, and enhancing the bathing ritual at the oldest surviving bathing complex of its kind in the world.
Project Info
Collaborating with Arlington Baths Club, custodians of the A-listed baths building, since 2014, an holistic programme of works was identified to ensure the Club’s longevity.
The Club highlighted the Lower Showers area as requiring most urgent repair and maintenance works to protect the building fabric, and in 2020 – the Club’s 150th year, we developed proposals to:
- renew windows, upgrade finishes, and reconfigure services and drainage to protect the building fabric,
- uncover and celebrate the Art Deco heritage of the space and,
- select a rich palette of materials and colours to create an atmospheric, characterful experience.
