Beneath the city of Bath’s Georgian streets lie the remains of the ancient Roman town of Aquae Sulis. A complex of sacred springs and temples, this was a place where statesmen and slaves alike came together to pray, relax and socialise.

As a scheduled ancient monument and UNESCO World Heritage, Sitehe Roman Baths is one of the most impressive historic sites in the UK.

We have worked with the Roman Baths for more than 10 years to deliver a series of phased projects that have brought the site back to life.

The site poses a number of practical challenges. It is an almost impossibly fragile structure that is fraught with accessibility issues, yet receives more than one million visitors every year and could not close during renovations. Through a series of diligently planned and carefully phased projects, we made the site more accessible to disabled visitors – all while visitors continued to pass through the doors.

" We are delighted with the quality of presentation and interpretation. " - Stephen Bird, client
