30 St Luke’s Church Old Street, Islington Listed Grade I i http://lso.co.uk/lsostlukes www.levittbernstein.co.uk This scheme has ingeniously integrated a high-tech 21st-century space into a Baroque shell to stunning effect – St Luke’s is one of London’s greatest buildings at risk successes and shows how cultural uses can offer new opportunities for redundant historic buildings Hawksmoor and James’ imposing church of 1727-33, a roofless shell since 1959, was one of London’s most intractable Buildings at Risk until the London Symphony Orchestra secured its future in 2003 by converting it to a rehearsal, recording and community outreach centre using arts and cultural funding. The main teaching/rehearsal space is formed within the re-roofed volume of the original church, and is supplemented by teaching rooms, a restaurant, offices and stores in the reconstructed and expanded crypt. This multi-award-winning scheme by Levitt Bernstein architects has been designed to exacting acoustic standards with complex construction to avoid noise transmission within the building and adjustable room acoustics. The design contrasts the new steel structure supporting the roof and balconies with the original walls, which are retained in their raw, unplastered state. Saving London English Heritage
