Of all the conservation challenges an architect could undertake building on the traditions of Roman Bath must be one of the toughest and most open to public scrutiny.  Yet The Cross in Bath respects the historical and spiritual significance of the site through light materials which form an intimate self-contained spa facility which meets the needs of the modern spa user.  A site of continuous redevelopment since its Roman founding.  Donald Insall's design ensures a high quality architectural future with history very much at its core.
