St Peter in the Forest Anglican Church was renewed as vibrant, functional spaces that serve both spiritual and community purposes while honouring its storied past.
Nestled on the Northern edge of Epping Forest, the Grade II listed Church of St Peter-in-the-Forest in Walthamstow is a place of deep heritage and significance. Originally built in 1840, designed by John Shaw Jnr., the church was on the Historic at Risk register when we were appointed as environmental and acoustic engineers. The West end of the church was restored to its original design and a new mezzanine level was created.
To protect the historic fabric of the church, we designed a free-standing structure within its original volume, seamlessly introducing community, performance, meeting, commercial kitchen, and spiritual spaces. Our approach balanced architectural sensitivity, environmental responsibility, and conservation priorities.
