Outcome
Located in the centre of Aberdeen on Bon Accord Street, Union Street and Langstane Place, the imposing Victorian gothic church, formerly known as Langstane Kirk, now hosts a contemporary, multi-functional space that has retained traditional features.
Local architectural practice Tinto were tasked with repurposing the upper floor of this historic, listed building. The client wanted to create a unique, flexible, space to cater for a variety of events: from weddings and, dinners to corporate functions. The redevelopment includes the addition of booth seating and the creation of a private bridal room on the upper floor.
Designed by James Matthew and built in 1869 this Ggrade B listed building has been carefully and sympathetically converted whilst retaining many of the traditional features, including the stunning stained -glass windows, vaulted ceiling, and intricate cornicing that you would expect to find in a kirk.
