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.
