This project revitalised a redundant derelict church into a vibrant community arts centre. The 1936 building was in poor condition needing extensive repair and has been transformed with new green technologies. An air source heat pump together with additional insulation in the roof reduce the carbon emissions and energy use by 75%. The original natural ventilation system has been refurbished.
State of the art display lighting by Concord Sylvania and advanced AV system enable the building to be multi purpose for display, for theatre, dance and film.The design is low energy long life loose fit for a variety of uses. An apartment for an artist in residence has been inserted into the space where the organ (sold by the previous owners) used to be. There is a separate teaching room and café both of which can be used independently by the local community.
An important part of the project is to educate and inform about sustainability and climate change. The south facing solar panels are directly opposite the school and shows how this new technology can be inserted carefully to coordinate with historic fabric.
The area and region is one of the most deprived in the country due to loss of industry and opportunity which poses particular obstacles to engaging in the arts. This is an exemplar project showing how the skills of a surgeon rather than those of a butcher can delicately prolong and enhance the life of our redundant buildings for the benefit of the whole community.
