After 25 years standing empty, Buile Hill Mansion has been reimagined as a place for community, celebration and everyday connection, with interiors by SpaceInvader that feel both refined and deeply rooted in context.⁠
⁠
Drawing on the building’s Georgian heritage, local stories and the idea of unlocking something hidden, the design balances past and present with a light touch.⁠
⁠
As Associate Director Imogen Woodage explains, the concept began with a simple discovery:⁠
“Amongst various items from the past still lying around were a lot of old keys… this became a thread that ran through the scheme.”⁠
⁠
That sense of narrative continues throughout, from the Secret Garden Café to the soft, nature-led palette and layered materials that create a space designed for slowing down.⁠
⁠
For founder John Williams, the transformation goes beyond design:⁠
“Buile Hill Mansion is now a place for community and celebration… a venue people will use and visit for generations to come.”⁠
⁠
A thoughtful revival that proves heritage spaces can feel both meaningful and made for modern life.⁠
