前卫理公会教堂在伊斯灵顿已经被西建筑改造为一个最低限度的生活/工作空间，创建主任的生活，莫根里梅尔。简单的和功能性的适应设计，以释放未使用的空间和分隔生活和工作区域。

翻修包括一个宿舍扩建，重建一个现有的阁楼和所有设施的升级，给双高空间一个全新的生活。

建筑师格雷厄姆·韦斯特(Graham West)说，大量的现有空间使得它非常适合引入阁楼。他重建了一座现有的小阁楼，为下面的房间打开了天花板。裸露的木结构夹层，悬挂在细长的钢棒上，由浮在地板上方的折叠式钢板楼梯达到，成为整个设计的象征：实用，最小，脱去。

利梅尔通过这个项目成为了房地产中介的所有者，但仍然保持着西方的建筑结构，帮助她创造出一个反映了她的设计精神和生活的空间。

​与里梅尔合作，韦斯特设计了新卧室，它可以通过另一个紧凑型暴露的木材楼梯到达。“由于新卧室的引入，它现在作为工作场所的效果要好得多-你现在可以把休息和工作隔离开来。”一旦你跨过楼梯的门槛，走进新房间，你就会觉得自己完全脱离了与主空间相关的日常任务和工作。

卧室被封闭在一个有压力的皮胶合板盒子里，成为一个独立的避难所，与阁楼的设计相呼应。用桦木和云杉面胶合板建造，内墙、地板、门和构架混合成一个最小的镶板房间。

The historic confines of the former church were a challenge for the architects: ‘The form and scale of the dormer extension had to respond [to] the building’s heritage status, in particular oblique views from adjacent street as well as privacy in relation to other dwellings within the same building,’ says West

A compact stairway leads up to the new bedroom, linking yet also separating the live and work spaces

A sliding plywood screen in the bedroom allows light and privacy to be altered

Timber is used across the space unifying the zones through material continuity

The inner walls, floors and doors of the bedroom are built with birch and spruce-faced plywood, creating a minimal panelled room

In the bathroom, the original resin floor was re-poured to create a smooth surface

The kitchen and bathroom facilities were all upgraded to reflect the ethos of the new design
