Church on Chapel
Situated on Chapel Street in the vibrant suburb of Cremorne, Church on Chapel stands as a pivotal project within an urban planning initiative. This visionary endeavor unites multiple structures along Chapel Street, harmonizing to form an urban village—a space where one can seamlessly integrate work, living, and recreation. In pursuit of a grander vision, our project serves both social and environmental purposes.
Functioning as an educational hub, our facility is dedicated to fostering community engagement. Through workshops, we empower students to create exclusive, locally crafted products that contribute to the unique identity of Cremorne. The upper floors of the building serve a dual purpose. Firstly, they provide short-stay accommodations for global guests who travel to partake in the educational offerings, promoting a rich tapestry of cultural diversity within Cremorne's workforce. Simultaneously, a section of the housing is dedicated to supporting students and budding creatives in their early career stages.
This affordable and adaptable living space caters to individual needs, reinforcing our commitment to inclusivity and sustainability. Church on Chapel emerges not only as a physical structure but as a dynamic, community-driven initiative that enriches the social and cultural fabric of Cremorne.
