The Albany Palace

The Albany Palace

Trowbridge

A former Victorian cinema KDPA sought to bring back to life some of the glamour and imagination associated with The Albany Palace when extending and re-designing this popular pub in the picturesque town of Trowbridge, Wiltshire.

Extending the pub into a neighbouring plot provided the opportunity to form a characterful courtyard garden overlooked by an impressive double height space for diners.

Using local stone and traditional construction methods KDPA designed a walled garden that respected the historical surroundings whilst offering patrons a picturesque environment in which to drink and dine in the finest tradition of the pub garden.

In part of its re-design of the original pub KDPA introduced a new bar with detailed panelling and tall brass light fittings referencing the sense of occasion that the original Victorian foyer would have created.

The prominent position of the new bar also served as a visual reference point looking over an impressive high-ceiling, open plan dining area, re-designed to act as a unified and vibrant social dining space with a renewed sense of history and purpose.
