Following the successful interior design and delivery of Buro Happold's two London offices and their Leeds office, Design Engine were invited to make proposals for their original head office in Camden Mill, Bath. Set on the southern edge of the River Avon, the Grade 2 Listed mill represents a memory of the City's past and is an important landmark for Bath. Our approach was to improve the connection of the working studios with the river and with the careful introduction of a double-height void along the northern side. This opened up the previously dark and labyrinthine accommodation, with a new reception, cafe, knowledge centre and glass- fronted meeting rooms; all organised around the new internal two-storey "street" and connected to a generous balcony over the river.
