Architects Offices
Title: The Old Chapel
Location: Stoke St Michael, Somerset
Client: MJW Architects
Project Type / Sector: Office Conversion
Year: 2006
Award winning sustainable conversion of a former Sunday School annexe to an Old Chapel into house and offices for mjwarchitects.
The space has been opened up and a mezzanine added to give extra floor area, increased head height and a three dimensional space. Internally the juxtaposition of open plan versus cellular space gives an exciting design to live and work, mixing traditional with contemporary, in a sensitive yet dynamic manner. Local sourced recycled materials, such as oak timber flooring, gives an eco friendly office that together with underfloor heating is cost effective to construct and run.
Winner of the 2006 Green Apple Award for Heritage and Sustainability and selected as an exemplar project by the RIBA Sector Reviews 2006.
