Freshford Mill, Bath
Design Guidance, Technical Review & Carpentry Oversight
Project Clarity • Design Alignment • On-Site Resolution
The Freshford Mill project required stepping into a complex development mid-stream — a site with multiple contractors, shifting responsibilities, and several unresolved design and compliance issues. My role evolved into providing clear technical oversight, identifying gaps left by others, and bringing discipline back to the carpentry and interior construction stages.
The work focused on restoring structure and accuracy, ensuring that the built elements aligned with the intended design and met practical standards on site. Like the calm, process-led approach of Barbara Hepworth’s studio practice, the task was to remove confusion, refine what was already there, and reveal a clear, workable path forward.
By reassessing details, advising on materials, and guiding the carpentry team, the project regained direction and technical integrity. The result was a more coherent build — grounded in craft, clarity, and informed decision-making.
