Restoration and repurposing of two derelict outbuildings into a wellbeing space and a multi-faith prayer room. Internally, the scope of works included thermal building fabric upgrades, new electrical installation including lighting, small power and data, fire alarm and heating system, installation of kitchen tea-point. The original doors were overhauled including the replacement of decayed timber sections and the double doors opening on to the terrace were replaced with new. New internal finishes were carried out throughout as well as fitting of shelving and notice boards.
To accommodate for the new services, a new upgraded power, data, and water supply was brought in by trenching and installing ducts below ground between the outbuildings and Ariel House. Further external works involved structural stonework repairs to the facades of both outbuildings, terrace palisade wall between the outbuildings and to the stone steps including specialist cleaning of the brickwork and painting of the stonework. Broken paving slabs to the terrace area were replaced as well as making rainwater drainage improvements by the installation of aco-drains and outlets.
