The transformation of a 1896 Church into two modern residences.

The only additional floor area that was added to the existing Church structure was at semi basement level in order to introduce a 2 car garage beneath the existing structure. The renovation of the existing building included separating the original 1896 structure from the 1960s addition via the insertion of a transparent /neutral glazed stair core that separates and articulates the old from the new.

The 1960’s structure has been refurbished/renovated and re-facaded in a contemporary style that provides a counterpoint to the old church and clearly expressed itself as new.   The original church structure and congregational space remained largely untouched, except for exposing the original scissor trusses and replacing the 1960s orange glass windows with clear insert glazing.
