Zion Chapel.

Zion Chapel in Shorne Ridgeway is a sensitive adaptive reuse project that transforms a former place of worship into a bespoke single-bedroom dwelling. Designed for a client with expertise in aluminium fabrication, the scheme features a custom aluminium staircase that functions as both a practical and sculptural element within the space. By lowering the rear floor level, we managed to squeeze in a mezzanine space with bedroom below without compromising the chapel’s original volume. A perfect balance of contemporary materiality with the historic character of the building.
