Old Chapel Converted Into An Apartment

We always says that the ways of God are inscrutable, but at least his temple is inhabitable. That’s what the ZECC Architecten probably thought when they converted an old Dutch chapel into a magnificient apartment. The church-turned-apartment is located in Utrecht in The Netherlands. It wasn’t an easy task because there were no windows at floor height, so the firm designed one to be cut into the front of the street to bring light in. The white colored walls add to the “fresh” look of this luxury apartment, together with the original stained-glass windows up on high. However, the bedroom and bathroom were left dark, because these rooms are more like cocoons. A nice touch is the original organ which remains as a reference to the history of the building. Simply amazing!
