The revamped church has just re-opened to the public following extensive refurbishment by Basel-based architects Christ & Cantenbein photography by Hélène Binet

坐落在伦敦市中心的尼尔大街和科文特花园，伦敦的瑞士教堂是该地区最好的秘密之一。非常平静，二级上市的建筑建于1855，建筑师George Vulliamy设计，并支持瑞士社区从此。然而，到了2006，很明显，这座建筑迫切需要更新维护的理由，以适应会众日益增长的需求。快进四年，在巴塞尔建筑师基督大修后，改建后的教堂重新向公众开放。

The church’s main hall needed to be restored back to its original glory, so the architects went on to remove any additions and partitions added over the years. Meanwhile extra floors were created at the street end, to cover the need for extra space in an effective way that wouldn’t interfere with the building’s architectural identity.  photography by Hélène Binet

The main hall is given its own internal façade, a folded mirror screen wall that separates the nave, creating a light and reflection play as well as a pleasant contrast to the overall classical and rather austere church features photography by Hélène Binet

The material palette of white emulsion treated concrete and white stained oak framework and flooring, complements perfectly the white rendered walls and detailing. photography by Hélène Binet
