Kate, The point is to keep the historical value. This is a church.

Saint Johns church in south eastern Virginia is structurally similar to this building. The floors are heated from below which keeps the interior cozy warm even on the coldest of days. The stone floor represents a huge amount of thermal mass that, once heated, will stay nice and warm. Personally, I’d love to live here. The acoustics would be amazing for music.

I love it. I’ve seen former churches in North America reclaimed for living space, but nothing as beautiful as this. FYI, they desanctify the building before turning it over for a non-religious purpose. There is nothing blasphemous about living in this space at all. That’s just plain silly.

its a good thing an old building was saved from becoming a ruin. but it just goes to show, that not all architectural typology is freely usable as another. for me, this does not work at all – it may look a bit *wow* on the pics, but as an architect, im not convinced at all.

I wonder if they PRAY before going to bed about the heating costs!

It isn’t a church. It’s a building made of stone. A church (according to the Bible which should be considered a reasonable authority on this matter) is a gathering of people. This is only the building where they once met.

PS Having a cemetery would give a whole new meaning when one sings “For All The Saints”.

As an Anglican in America, I’d LOVE to have the money to have something like that. No the cemetery wouldn’t bother me. I would love to have more musical instruments there as I love to sing and have my friends over for music parties. I’m not sure about the bed in the area what used to be the sanctuary… it’s simply too open… maybe for guests? but I love the upstairs cozy bedroom. You COULD have radiant floor heaters, radiators that look like sculptures, and really good insulation along with the high insulation value custom windows to replace old plain ones. You could also easily have high R value windows on the outside of the stained glass ones if nothing else to protect the historical values of them. Heaven knows when a neo-Cromwell might come storming through the country or Muslims try to make it into a mosque as they take over UK.
