Inside Berdoulat: A History-Filled 18th-Century Shop & House | Design Notes



Patrick & Neri Williams welcome us into their shop & home, based in the World Heritage Site of Bath, England. The interior design duo have transformed a truly unique space in the heart of Bath, which sees Georgian, Regency and Victorian architecture converge. With a deep respect for the history and soul of the building, they have sensitively renovated the Grade II-listed space.

“In 1890, three very eccentric Victorians joined forces,” explains Patrick as he stands in the front-of-house shop. “What they did with the building was to completely reformat the space. All of the internal walls at ground and first-floor were removed, as was the ceiling to create this fantastic double-heighted space.” Watch the full episode of Design Notes with Patrick & Neri Williams and tour Berdoulat in Bath.

10:30 – Shop Vaults: “This is the original kitchen from the 18th-century servants’ quarters”

    I enjoy your videos so much. One thing that sets them apart is the background music. Simply fantastic. Please consider producing a "music to live by" or "mood" music playlist. It would be enjoyable and help keep that House & Garden feeling going. Best regards.

    Quite remarkable. A sense of time and place that is almost indescribable, like the non-colors. Deliciously eccentric, just how I like things.

    Beautiful space! I would suggest that they use a different model for the “cutlery draining pot” (moule à faisselle). I have those which have three or four little feet as well as a draining dish thus the pot is not set on your countertop in a pool of draining water.
    Also regarding the cannelé shaped ceiling rose, maybe sell cannelé copper molds in the shop? Definitively more useful with great results.
