Almost everyone who has taken interest in the build has asked the same question: What are you doing about the stained glass window? Until now we have been unable to fully answer that question but after much debate and head scratching we can. The old stained glass window is in very poor condition and…
We can see at last!
With the days being a little gloomy recently we decided it was a good to time to start thinking about the lighting. This has been a tricky task as you never really know how much light you may need, but it is rather expensive so getting too much in would be wasteful. As a basic…
Did you notice?
Happy new year everyone! We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas break, we know we certainly did. Have you noticed the new windows? In the last few days prior to the Christmas break the guys worked tirelessly to lift these massive windows into place. The side windows went in first as these were lighter…
A guided tour
From outside the chapel there have been many visible changes. If you have passed by the building regularly over the last year you will have seen it evolving and may have wondered what was actually going on – so we thought we would take you on a tour allowing you to step inside the front…
Super-club circuits, plumber punch-ups and a bit of desk sizing…
Last week saw the stud work being built, the first of the plumbing and a lot of planning being done for the electrics. Visually things are changing every day, now that we are this far into the build. We even have some temporary stairs! The stud walls have been put up in the upper-floor rear section…
A level playing field
It has been a very busy month at the chapel and the pace is continuing to quicken as we approach the end of the year. Last week saw the screed go down on the upper and lower floors which was an unusually rapid process. The screed mix that we opted for was MPA Liquid Screed…
Another Refurbishment..
The Chapel build isn’t the only thing getting a new look.. As a Product Design Consultancy, design is everything. From the way we want you to feel when you step into our office, to the motivation and inspiration our website should fill you with when you click on our logo. Which is why we have launched a BRAND NEW…
Bubblegum flavoured concrete anyone?
Now-a-days, construction companies are using scented form release agents to impart a pleasant smell in concrete, the most famous being bubble gum. We didn’t opt for this however. But now that the first floor is in place, it’s time to concrete it. Downstairs we have a beam and block combination and in order to duplicate…
Now you see it – Now you don’t
The Chapel may continue to look the same on the outside to most people, but there is a lot going on inside that you don’t see! Here’s an even closer look . Now you see it – Now you don’t.
Rooms for Improvement
With the steel beams being placed downstairs, you can really see the shape of the rooms come to life and start to imagine each one fully equipped and ready for business. But if you still can’t quite see it yet, take a look at the pictures below for some inspiration. And in each steel beamed room… With…
Ask the Men
Got a question? Austen & Phil would love to answer it! They have learnt so much already building the Chapel and would love to answer any ‘building/renovation’ questions you may have! No question is too small, they would love to hear from you. Or perhaps you have your own before and after pictures you want to share with…
Summer Time
Renovating an Old Chapel is a long and tiring process and can sometimes feel like you’re not getting as much done as you thought you were. It’s only until you take a step back that you realise just how far you’ve actually come. To help you see too, we have created a short video so you can literally watch…
