New alterations to the former chapel building were minimal , including the introduction of a new extension positioned between the southwest corner of the chapel and the stone boundary wall . The remodeled single-story volume enlarges the ground floor space of the chapel whilst creating a terrace accessible from the first floor . A new patio fills the ground-floor bedrooms with natural light and creates a calm outdoor space full of vegetation .
Internally , Tuckey Design Studio redesigned the layout of the ground floor to make space for 4 bedrooms and bathrooms with an ecclesiastic feel , a calm material palette , and niches within plastered walls to increase storage space .
The grand open plan of the chapel at the first-floor level was designed to host a living room , dining , and kitchen where the whole family can gather . An additional ensuite bedroom was added in the attic space , a timber box was inserted above the kitchen and behind the chapel stone arched wall – a reminder of a wooden choir / pulpit structure .
