Chapel Conversion

Location: Dublin 6
Project: Large Commercial Conversion
Building Type: Chapel (protected structure)
Length of project: 12 Months

The architects were determined to retain the integrity and visual appearance of the Chapel while at the same time providing modern, energy efficient and adaptable office accommodation. All decorative features were retained in the conversion. A free standing steel structure was inserted into the open body of the church which created three floors of offices with a floor area of 1010 sqm and includes a spectacular floor located under the vaulted panelled roof space.

Other niche meeting areas at first floor are located between the arches supporting the crossing and create spaces of great character with decorative column heads at floor level and low vaulted ceilings making for very intimate work places.
