Bonney Avenue Residence by Willis Greenhalgh Architects
Willis Greenhalgh Architects have designed a conversion of an old heritage church in Brisbane, Australia into a contemporary home.
.
Description from the architects:
First a church then a theatre, a slice of Brisbane’s heritage has been saved from demolition and transformed into two striking luxury homes.
The existing buildings date back to 1867 and are heritage listed.
Extensive community and heritage consultation ensured the balance between conserving the integrity of the buildings, the subtle introduction of contemporary elements, and the relationship with the surrounding area.

The building has gone through few reincarnation finally turn to be a residential, but obviously the interiors truly able to reflect some existing feature, like the Gothic window, the attic, flying buttress had heavily represented the existing church, but the characteristic of theater not really much maybe just the attic for audience?
