Cosway Street

Project name and location:

35 Cosway Street

Brief summary of the project:

This project involved the conversion of the deconsecrated Christ Church in the Lisson Grove Conservation Area into a multi-purpose sports and leisure facility to house the headquarters of the Greenhouse Sports charity. The Grade II* listed building required alterations to internal and external areas to be carried out sensitively to preserve important ecclesiastical features and ornate details such as the original single pane stained glass windows. Specialist heritage tradespeople were employed for certain works, such as the repairing of the lime plaster ceiling, originally installed in 1826. Other works included the installation of a lift, additional balustrades to the gallery, a new sports floor, a new entrance ramp and a new stair core.
