In this alteration and remediation of a water-damaged building the architects have demonstrated an ability to listen to the client, understand the brief and the issues at play, and prioritise strategies for the re-conceptualisation of the project as a cohesive whole. Sympathetic additions and alterations have enhanced the original architecture. A new day chapel nicely balances the existing design and, combined with a new layout of the ‘crying room’, altar and seating, has given the congregation a fully functioning place of worship that is respectful of the traditions and modern liturgical requirements of the Catholic Church.
