Option 3: Building above the church hall
This option proposed rasing the roof of the church hall to provide
an additional floor above the existing space of the hall. We
proposed that the new roof volume would be a metal-clad
mansard.
However, unless access to an upper floor is via the existing spiral
stone staircase, which is not compliant and indeed is very
constricted, then a new stair and lift would use half the available
floor plan, and so the effective outcome would be two spaces half
the size of the existing one.
