Conversion of a former Methodist Church into
6 luxury apartments, in the heart of the Shrewsbury Town Centre conservation
area. The Victorian church was not listed, but provided a fine façade onto St John's Hill, and a strong contribution to the streetscape |
 |
|
The site is landlocked
to the rear, it was not possible to insert new windows in the
external walls, and light is provided for the new apartments by
the creation of an internal courtyard in the rear part of the former
nave. Beyond the original church walls a contemporary architectural intervention contrasts with the character of the church. |
||
Numerous interior features including the existing
roof structure have been retained inside the church to form unique
spaces and individual apartments. A walnut staircase rises up in the main circulation space looking out over the new courtyard and pool. |
