Kent Street Baths
Defining a city block in Birmingham’s Southside quarter, Kent Street Baths will provide 504 homes. Once the home to Birmingham’s first public baths, the scheme consists of a city block with five principal buildings ranging from 7 to 18 storeys, wrapped around a courtyard garden.
Our brief focused on functionality and wellbeing, aiming to create a desirable environment for people to live and enjoy while encouraging health and sustainable living. Within the central courtyard, a community hub will feature a shared lounge, exercise studios and event spaces. The material palette consists of a subtle range of brick tones and textures, establishing a contemporary approach while, at the same time, respecting the context of the local area.
