Setting the Standard

Positioned as the exemplar project for all future regeneration and redevelopment schemes in Bath, SouthGate Bath gave specifiers the opportunity to source materials that would ultimately set the standard for achieving a sustainable, cohesive and complementary style and finish.

The tonal variation of Forest of Dean Pennant sandstone provides both an aesthetic and practical solution for paved areas in and around the city, complementing the dominant building stone, Bath limestone.

Sympathetically designed, in keeping with the Georgian architecture of the city, the new retail development combines public seating areas and Piazza-style squares, with wide, atmospheric side streets defining the centre as a place to socialise as well as shop.
