Identity

Roundhill Grange is a Grade II listed Georgian house on the outskirts of Bruton, Somerset. The manor house is managed as an event space by Roth Bar & Grill, which operates from neighbouring Hauser & Wirth Somerset.

To develop the identity for Roundhill Grange, we undertook incredibly detailed research into the history of the house, which included travelling to the site and speaking to the property’s oldest living neighbours. The art and printed ephemera found in the estate provided us with the history of the previous owners as well as visual material we used as a starting point to create the identity. For instance, we used the handwriting on the back of a portrait to find a typeface with similarly calligraphic forms, which provided the basis of the entire identity.
