  • Award-winning development of the  church site and its buildings in order to achieve the Church's objectives, as highlighted in their 'Vision Project' document. This was compiled to enable the Church to better meet the needs of existing groups, whilst also creating opportunities to further engage with the local community

  • The refurbishment/re-ordering of the existing Church has resulted in maximising multi-functionality; accessibiliy, and community engagement. Works included reconfiguration of the main church, and important addition of a services/refreshment pod; extension and refurbishment of the existing Church Hall; a new car park and access road; new vehicle entrance/exit points; new community cafe bar.

  • Close collaboration with key stakeholders, such as client representatives, local community,  English Heritage, (subsequently Historic England), and the Victorian Society, was essential, ensuring both compliance and best practice.

Working with the Church Representatives to deliver their vision

 

  • Futureproofing the existing facilities,  and enhancing with new purpose built additonal facilites, such as the new cafe area, are already providing greater flexibility of use, with improved flow through the building and its grounds.

  • Maximum use of sustainable specifications will make the buildings more efficient, conserving resources and reducing running costs.

  • Improved facilities incorporate full DDA access.

  • Use of 3D and virtual reality 3D Visualisations allowed the Client and other key stakeholders to fully experience the depth and space of the design at the early, concept stages, ensuring a right first time approach.

  • The reordering was recognised with two awards at the International Green Apple Built Environment and Architectural Heritage Awards 2018 - hosted by the Green Organisation.

"The Vision project at Mossley Hill has been exemplary in every respect and all the thought and work – and multiple iterations of design – that went into it resulted in a truly magnificent facility which will serve the community well for many years into the future.  It is actually my “go-to” project when anyone asks me for an example of a really good reordering".

Ian Simpson, Heritage Officer, Diocese of Liverpool, commenting on St Matthew and St James Parish Church, Mossley Hill
