MAKE
The project brief has granted the MCL a unique opportunity to refurbish a former church into a series of contemporary apartments. Residing in a premier West London location, the site offers a plethora of opportunities for local relationships and collaboration. Built in 1901, the former church reveals various design opportunities to enhance the existing fabric.
CREATE
