The Chapel House

Another great conversion by ZECC Architecten, this time an apartment in a converted chapel located in Utrecht, Netherlands. It’s on the second floor (added?), and because there were no windows at floor height, the firm designed one to be cut into the front on the street side to bring in more light - it vaguely resembles a Mondrian painting.

Before...
After...
Together with the original stained-glass windows up on high, and the white-painted interior, the whole effect is simply amazing.
The bedroom and bathroom were left dark.The original organ remains as a reference to the history of the building - it’s a nice conversation piece, that’s for sure…..
