The Corporation of Church House, Westminster
Synopsis
As a practice, we are proud to have been the chosen architects for The Corporation of Church House for the past 25 years. This stunning building houses the Church of England’s administrative and decision making centre.
The Brief
Located in the heart of Westminster Abbey, this prestigious Grade II listed building is located in sight of the Houses of Parliament. It forms an integral part of the Abbey and the Dean’s Yard complex.
The original Church House was founded in 1887 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Over the years, it has played a major part for the two Houses of Parliament in World War II and held the first meetings of the United Nations Preparatory Commission and Security Council. Today, the building hosts many exciting events and distinguished guests.
To date, we have been involved in a number of exciting projects carried out with the highest degree of sensitivity to comply with the site’s extensive heritage.
Our Solution
During our time working with The Church House, notable projects have included two full refurbishments of clerical offices and the refurbishment of the Conference Centre’s commercial kitchens, great halls and rooms with innovative technology that promote the Centre’s competitive capability for its guests.
