Project Brief

RSA were commissioned to design a new Quaker meeting Hall in Ashburton within a redundant building previously used as a wood store for a local business.

Project Detail

The building started life as a pair of cottages and was converted in 1850 to a Gospel hall by the Plymouth Brethren until around 1950.

The main elements of the brief included 2 separate rooms. At first floor a large open plan Sunday morning meeting space to be used for worship for up to 40 people. On the ground floor a children’s room was incorporated with kitchen facilities and disabled WC. A lift is also included.

The building was designed to maximise letting potential for different community groups with high level of acoustic separation between the floors.

A distinctive glass floor detail allows light to penetrate the ground floor accommodation.

The building is successful in providing day to day flexible accommodation to a series of different user groups such as Pilates classes, jewellery courses, book clubs and discussion groups.

Client Testimonial

The Friends of Quakers have worked with Rud Sawers Architects on a number of successful projects over many years and found their approach to be innovative, creative and highly professional.

They always have our interests at the centre of their service and we continue to recommend their services to any future clients.
