In 1998, John Simpson and Partners were commissioned to produce a masterplan for the area around Chelsea Old Church in the heart of Old Chelsea. The client, a developer, expressed a clear desire to achieve good value through quality design, and to contribute new buildings that firmly fitted in with those existing in the locality to create a mixed residential development. The scheme included a design for a new church hall and a new vicarage and verger’s accommodation for Chelsea Old Church.
The Masterplan involves 21 apartments, 4 town houses, 3 cottages, 4 maisonettes and a new church hall, vicarage and verger’s apartment.
The scheme received the award for the best work within an existing historic neighbourhood from the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, in 2004.
HRH The Prince of Wales opened the Church Hall in 2001.
