The C19th, listed church, located behind Hyde Park Corner has a growing congregation and is popular for society weddings and high profile music by BBC. Royalty, prime ministers and celebrities have all attended.

The project will provide further opportunity for congregation within the secular and spiritual realms.

A cloister will be wrapped around the church in a reinterpretation of the cathedral form to give additional spaces.

‘I spoke to Paul about developing the extension to our C19th church, St Paul’s in Knightsbridge, because I knew him to be an architect with experience of working on beautiful but also highly complex projects.’

‘At St Paul’s, we felt that our architect would need breadth of experience as well as the ability to interpret our needs and pull together a clear vision from our disparate requirements. He would also need to be able to communicate with a number of different stakeholders, from local planners to the congregation.’

‘Paul has listened and created an empathic and elegant solution for us, and a vision that was more than we had hoped for. I believe that the proposed development will help ensure that St Paul’s has a flourishing role in the future.’
