HBG were pleased to be the contractor for The Worlds End Hotel, a thoughtfully designed new build featuring 20 en-suited bedrooms and a modern conferencing facility.
The groundworks were challenging due to a high water table, requiring a piled solution with a concrete ground beam arrangement. The building is traditionally constructed with load-bearing masonry, concrete plank flooring, and pre-cast stairs.
The external facade was constructed using Banbury walling stone and highlights architectural details such as natural window heads, kneelers, and coping stones to the gable parapets, reflecting the hotel’s timeless character.
