Studio Egret West working for client Crest Nicholson Regeneration, have received planning permission for two residential pavilions on the edge of the River Avon, as part of their Bath Riverside development.

The two buildings sit either end of a new river edge park, each undulating in form and stepping inwards as they get higher, creating a series of terraces which soften the mass of the buildings whilst opening out views to the park and river.

Christophe Egret said: “We are delighted to have found a contemporary architectural language that is respectful of the Unesco World Heritage site yet a departure from the more formal traditional architecture of Bath.”  Debbie Aplin, managing director at Crest Nicholson Regeneration stated; “we are very pleased with the proposed scheme and are delighted with the decision to approve at the planning committee.

We have received very positive feedback not only from the planning officers but also from interested third parties throughout our extensive public consultation in the summer.  We look forward to starting the construction of the first of these excellent buildings in 2015”.
