With views over the designated World Heritage City of Bath and within the conservation area of the city, the redevelopment of and around Hope House required close attention to detail. Acorn Property Group engaged our multidisciplinary engineering team to provide services across the whole site.
The steeply sloping nature of the site presented a key challenge for our engineers to tackle, with landslip strata and slope stability issues to mitigate. The demolition plans, one for the lower site and one for the upper site with two separate contractors, had to be carefully scoped so they could successfully run concurrently.
Our civil and structural engineers developed detailed plans throughout the site that outline areas where facilitating temporary works were required. In order to tackle the complex groundworks, we designed and managed significant high-level work to allow the contractors to work effectively on the site.
With retained and refurbished elements to the project as well as new build aspects, sympathetic interventions and insertions were key to the success of this project. Our scope included adaption of the listed façade of the main building, an old manor house, as well as internal fireplaces and skirting boards.
Sitting within 6 acres (2.4 hectares) of woodland and grassland on the outskirts of Bath. The development provides 58 homes, including the conversion of Hope House, and associated infrastructure and parking.
