Hugh Broughton Architects

Externally, the C19th church has been faithfully restored to its original design, whilst the interior scheme presents surviving original features alongside contemporary interventions complimenting the robust elegance of the original architecture.

Sections of a remarkable wooden scale model of Sheerness Dockyard, made more than 150 years ago, are on display on the ground floor. This vast model provides a focal point for visitors and a means to tell the story of the dockyard and its place in Britain’s naval history.

The first floor provides open-plan workspace and is built to the footprint of the original tiered galleries. Lightweight steel link bridges provide new circulation and fire escape routes. The new roof is internally finished with a slatted timber ceiling with four large, circular skylights which fill the space with natural light.
