The story

The story behind the work.

City & Country is transforming the former Bath Press site into apartments and townhouses while retaining the formal facade of the nineteenth-century printing works and its landmark chimney.

The development combines industrially influenced apartments with townhouses that respond to Bath's Georgian character. Landscaped courtyards, communal gardens and rooftop gardens create shared outdoor space within the historic complex.
