St Francis Church &
Community Hall
A phased scheme of works on the Grade-II listed church comprising the refurbishment of the existing church hall and an award-winning extension providing expanded community facilities.
​
Following a competition, we were appointed as Architects on this interesting and challenging project. Refurbishment of the existing church hall, following its damage in a serious fire in 2011 which rendered the building unusable, was the first priority.
​
The following extension to the church involved looking at many options and extensive consultation with interested parties including the Twentieth Century Society and Church Council.
​
The design of the extension is in a deliberately more modern style than the church, whilst respecting its architecture and scale. Glass is used to separate old from new and the original exterior brick wall is retained as a feature internally. The project received a Salisbury Civic Society Conservation Award in 2018 for ‘outstanding work to an existing building’.
