The conversion of a redundant Grade II listed Church into a medical centre with a new-build pharmacy. Originally constructed in 1863-4, the building was last used as a church in 2008. The brief was to provide 1100sq/m floor area for two medical practices with as little impact on the original building fabric as possible. The scheme achieved a “very good” environmental rating as assessed under BREEAM.
