Project Summary:
The redesign of St. Andrew's Church in London balanced historic preservation with modern needs, creating a serene and functional space. Embracing the theme "intensity within calm," the project incorporated contemporary elements inspired by Wren's aesthetic into the church's historic fabric. Features like parametric designs and advanced fabrication techniques modernised traditional motifs without clashing with the original architecture. The redesign also focused on functionality, enhancing accessibility and introducing a flexible lighting system to support various events. Sustainability was a key consideration, with measures to reduce energy and material usage. Overall, the renovation not only met the client's vision but also future-proofed the church as a vital community asset.
