Aside few public buildings, or buildings of Civic importance like the Abbey or the Empire Hotel which predominantly feature within the 2540m , buildings above a 25m depth on the whole tend to be modern large scale buildings the Hilton Hotel Building, the Library, TK Max building and even the offices and housing buildings on the East side of the river The footprint of these buildings is out of scale with the urban grain of Bath. The subtlety of threshold, entrance and how they address the street is at odds with the buildings of Georgian Bath.
