Chapel Conversion

A bespoke home, appointed as part of the Stapehill Abbey project.
Location: Wimborne Road, Wimborne
Status: Built
Use: Residential
Client: Ankers & Rawlings Developments Ltd
This bespoke home was commissioned as a part of our global involvement as lead architects for the complete Stapehill Abbey project. This conversion required original solutions to retain all of the unique features and materials, whilst meeting modern standards, resulting in a unique and characterful home.

Our design solution evolved, in partnership with our Clients and the local Conservation Officer.

So as not to dissect the volume and space of the existing chapel interior, and so its volume could be appreciated in the round, a central floating pod was designed to accommodate the private bedrooms sat within an open plan living space, with rooflights importing light from above and with the magnificent conserved and restored stained glass windows illuminating the open plan interior.
