The Chapel of St Barnabas

The Chapel of St Barnabas

The newly refreshed, Grade I listed Chapel at the House of St. Barnabas. A landmark site steeped in history; the Chapel featured in Charles Dickens’ famous A Tale of Two Cities, and has served the community at the heart of Soho for centuries.

We were tasked to bring a new lease of life to the exterior of the building with a limited budget.

Utilising concealed linear LED integrated into the stone margin and with carefully selected optics, the light gently grazes the textured stone at low level, casting highlights to the ornate window reveals and roof soffit of the curved facade.

To further enhance the facade we softly backlit the beautiful stained glass windows to bring a pop of colour for passers by.
