ANALYSIS.
Public/Private
Due to accessibility into the church, I have chosen the chancel and added
section at the back of the church can be made private. This allows simple
understanding to the public that the nave their specific area, with the rest
of the church being specifically for staff and young registered autistic adults.
Sunlight and Wind-path
Analysing the sunlight and
wind-path has allowed
me to make early design
choices within the
scheme, which works
well with existing natural
light. The sunlight will
hit the chancel in the
morning hours, followed
by the nave by noon and
afternoon.

Structure
The current structure of the church is supported by the 12 large pillars that hold once held the
churches roof. It now supports the timber roofs that cover the naves edges, with the walls being
made of stone. As the church is currently a shell, there is no need for internal supports, due
to nothing being supported. The proposed plans for the new structure will be supported by
internal, temporary supports, that can be lowered into the structure and taken out vice versa.
