Vanguard Self-Storage A new self-store facility for business and individuals
Close to the centre of Bath, this new facility is intended to serve the needs of local businesses and residents with flexible storage space in a range of unit sizes over 4 floors. In common with other stores operated by Vanguard, this building features a vintage artifact – in this case a restored De Havilland Vampire Jet, hanging within the entrance atrium. The high-performance frameless curtain wall will allow this to be visible from the street, avoiding unwanted glare and reflection. The project replaces a former laundry building, the roof form of which is reflected in the new design. New landscape planting, including 50 new trees and a re-naturalised watercourse provides an improved habitat for wildlife.
