Broad Street Townhouse is a boutique city-centre bolthole offering eleven impeccably designed bedrooms, café by day and a speakeasy bar, The Blind Pig, by night. It is a stylish and unusual place to stay, is gloriously furnished and has luxurious comforts such as free-standing baths and king-size beds.
The site was previously a disused office space in a high-profile area of bath, so much to the delight of the listed building officer and the client Butcombe Brewery, we were able to create a cleaver design that incorporated the sites history.
The sites aesthetic nods to its heritage (the City of Bath itself a World Heritage Site) with respect and taste to celebrate its provenance - whilst at the same time presents a new contemporary classic suited to the discerning, modern traveller.
The Last Crumb was stripped back to its bare bones which revealed an edgy, rustic structure that is now complete with a new kitchen, pizza oven and new bar position. A food pass from the kitchen adds to the theatrical nature of the pub.
Perhaps the most important features are the use of raw wood and stone. The pubs distinctive interior tells a captivating story. Guests are greeted by a distressed wood doorway where you can see the old repairs back from when it was originally constructed.
Since most surfaces and objects are kept simple and unrefined, patterns are responsible for arousing interest. The result is this refreshed pub with new features and a complete redesign. There is a strong focus on upcoming talent, community events and food and beverages as Dodo continue to build their much-loved pub brand.
