Church Entry

Church Entry

FORMstudio was commissioned to develop the detail design, spatial arrangement and realisation of this residential project, creating twelve innovatively planned and detailed 1-bed apartments for city workers and a luxurious duplex penthouse apartment. The scheme was developed following the planning consent originally obtained by M2R architects for the conversion, change of use and extension of this former City office building.

A fire-engineered approach has facilitated the creation of open-plan loft-style environments with bedrooms accessed direct from living areas - avoiding the usual requirements for fire doors and lobbies. Discreet changes to the section of the building at ground/basement level, including the introduction of deep-set two-storey windows, have enabled the liberation of former underground storage space to create luminous split-level apartments with outlooks across the adjacent former church yard.
