Patrick Williams grew up assisting his parents with the restoration of an 18th century farmhouse in southwest France, a project that extended for 20 years. His wife, Neri Kamcili, was raised in Istanbul in a family with their own “home-building antics.” The two now run Berdoulat, a design firm specializing in the revival and preservation of historic buildings. The couple are well situated for the task: they live in Bath, England, a World Heritage Cultural Site, where they are bringing up their two daughters amid sawdust and lime plaster.

Back in 2015, when the young family settled full time in Bath, they opened a B&B in a 1748 townhouse: see . They lived in these quarters and ran the business temporarily while working on an ambitious series of other projects. One of those, their own store, has recently opened after their exacting resuscitation of a linked trio of Georgian, Regency, and Victorian buildings that were once home to Bath’s answer to Fortum & Mason. A few months ago, we spotlighted Berdoulat’s conversion of a garage in the complex into an . Today, we’re taking a look at some of the new emporium’s most memorable offerings. Join us for a look.

It’s stocked with furniture and kitchenware as well as provisions and wine, and has an in-house cafe and bakery. “The vast majority of what we sell is designed by us and made within an hour’s drive from Bath by small-scale makers,” explains the Berdoulat website.

The , shown here, is fabricated to order in various finishes in “any size you like (within reason).” It has an oiled oak top, drawers customized with dividers, and porcelain electrical sockets. Hanging on the wall behind it is the Berdoulat “inspired by the fretwork bases of George III dressers.”

Above: The zinc sink is pre-patinated and will evolve with use; it’s fitted with a Barber Wilsons brass faucet. The ceramic , £55, is based on an antique cheese-making basket that Patrick and Neri have long kept sink side to dry utensils.
Above: Berdoulat’s , £140, is woven by Judy Simmonds in Devon from 120 willow rods. “The spiral form originates from a Périgord basket-making tradition,” Patrick explains. “Food from the field would be carried home in it, and en route, the basket dipped into the river; the open weave allows water to pass through and wash the vegetables, ready for use.”
Above: The oak , £125, is designed to be carried to the table. It’s based on one made by Patrick’s father, and has “mitered corners joined with ‘bird mouth’ ebony wedges.”
