Turning Redundant Property into High-Performing Assets

This former church is now on its way to becoming a unique residential dwelling — proof that even the most unexpected buildings can be transformed to unlock significant value.

One design element within our client's brief was to design a mezzanine floor that sits comfortably within the vaulted ceiling of the original church. The lower level will house an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area, while the mezzanine above creates a quiet, elevated snug — making the most of the dramatic roof space and natural light.

Projects like this highlight the commercial potential of adaptive reuse. From disused community buildings to underperforming sites, thoughtful design can bring spaces back into use — driving returns and preserving architectural character.

If you own a property that’s currently sitting empty or underutilised, we can help you reimagine it. Whether it's for residential conversion, mixed-use redevelopment, or change of use through Prior Approval — smart design makes all the difference.
