Christ Church Ware is a Victorian Grade II listed church. The building was hindered by substandard facilities, and asked MEB to propose a thorough refurbishment and upgrade. The aim was the creation of a large flexible and comfortable meeting place for worship in the existing space, seating upward of 300 people. Key features included: installation of a mezzanine gallery to provide for larger numbers, accessed by a stunning contemporary glazed spiral staircase. Provision of WCs and kitchen. Installation of underfloor heating to allow a new controllable, effective, and efficient heat distribution system, and a new flexible lighting scheme to cater for different uses.
