OLD CHAPEL JONATHAN TUCKEY DESIGN
BGLA | Architecture + Design urbain
Tuckey Design Studio was approached by the client to re-appropriate a converted chapel to accommodate their new permanent family home . The Old Chapel stands within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty .
The site area measures approximately 520 square metres ; low exposed stone walls define the edges of the property separating it from the main road and adjacent buildings on the southwest side .
Built in the first half of the 20th century , the Old Chapel was converted into a dwelling in the 1970s , with a series of interventions added in the 90s , the majority of which hold no historic or architectural value .
Through a series of thoughtful interventions , the project looks to uncover the original character of the chapel and create a more appropriate and characterful space .
Tuckey Design Studio first removed the earlier additions from the ’ 90s and reinstated the former north entrance to the chapel as the main stair hall , allowing for a more fluid circulation throughout the whole space , and between the living spaces on the first floor and bedrooms on the ground floor .
