THE CHARTERHOUSE PCPT Architects 2013
West elevation view | Photo by Rafa Citron
The Charterhouse is a Grade I listed building, the only remaining building of a monastic monastery, in the city of Coventry, UK. PCPT has been appointed to do a feasibility study for the reuse of the Chaterhouse, opening the building and the grounds to the community. Before proposing any intervention to a listed building, it is essential that we know it’s history. My main task o this project wasto conduct a research to find out how the building was in its original configuration, on medieval times. Through a literature reseach on other Carthusian monasteries, cathograohic research and an extensive survey on the building, I was able to create a 3D model showing how the monastic complex was. This was the starting point to a proposal for the use of the grounds and buildings.

Monastic complex reconstruction To help telling this story, the medieval monastery was reconstructed in a three-dimensional model, based on the research. From the archaeological excavations, we knew with certainty the location of the church and the monks’ cells and these, together with the standing building, were the starting point for the three-dimensional model. Although only five cells have been excavated, it is known from historical research that there were in total eleven, six to the east of the cloister, four to the south and two to the west of the cloister. No excavation has been done in the supposed location of the Chapter house, but it is known, from the research on other monasteries throughout Europe, this would usually be by the east side of the cloister. To the north of the church, the excavations found part of what is believed to be the cloister of the lay brothers, who certainly were outside the cloister of monks. To the west of the survival building, based in the usual configuration of the Carthusian monasteries and also on drawings made in the 19th century, were located the service homes, the kitchen, the bakery, etc. Near the bridge of access to the monastery, there was probably the home of the prosecutor.

The information that we had prior to the survey was that the medieval painting of the crucifixion had been divided in two by the insertion of the second floor in the 16th century and the top part of the painting had been removed or covered, although no traces of the painting in the second floor has ever been found. The survey showed that it would never have been possible to find the top of the painting, because the ancient masonry was destroyed and a new wall was built almost in the same place.

The process of knowledge has been critical to the assessment of the possibilities for the reuse of the Carthusian Priory of Santa Ana, and will also be important to tell the story of The Charterhouse to the community of Coventry. The union of all the data collected between historical research and the direct analysis of the building gave us the conditions for planning the reuse of the building, respecting its history and original configuration. Once the building and the monastic complex was understood, the first step was to determine that the garden - that used to be the cloister - should remain a space of silence, since it has been that way in the monastic period. It will be there that the story will be told to visitors of the monastery and the children of the local schools. The gardens outside the walls will be developed for sports and other activities in general, because it was the secular space in the monastery. The result of this research and all processed materials will be exhibited in the museum of The Charterhouse with the intuition that the entire Coventry community can learn the history and participate on it from now on. The future use of the house is still to be confirmed by the trust that owns the house, but the most important decision is that, although it is now known that the building has suffered some important modifications through the years, no work will be done in the attempt to convert the building into its original configuration. All phases are important and it tells the history of The Chapter house. The only exception will be the reconstruction of one of the cells, where visitor will have the chance to see how the Carthusian monks used to live.
Project overview PCPT had been appointed by the Higgs Trust to do a proposal for the Grade II* listed building, the Draper Hall, in Coventry, to become a music centre for the Coventry University and Coventry’s Music Services, with additional funding from Arts Council England. When I joined PCPT, the team had already worked on the design and I was asked to:
After completing this initial task, I joined the team on designing new options for the extension, following the advices from the planning officers. I have also produced materials such as the Design and Access Statement and boards for client’s meetings.

Project overview The site, situated on 232 Kings Road and 18 – 20 Chelsea Manor Street, consists of two connected buldings that once formed the Royal Mail Chelsea Sorting Office. Madigan Browne Architects had already gained permision for the demolition of the existing building on Chelsea Manor Street, retaining the historic façade of n18 Chelsea Manor Street and the construction of 17 flats + 4 affordable units on Kings Road.

When I joined the team, they were working on the redevelopment of the consented scheme to provide 22 apartaments + 4 affordable units and retail on the ground floor of Kings Road. My task was to redesign the floor plans of the Chelsea Manor Street side of the project, in order to accomodate 5 more apartments, which I have managed to do without changing the envelope of the previous proposal.

Ocean Estate, at 85 Harford St, London, is a building conversion into 11 apartments. JKSW took over this project during the construction phase, to produce all technical drawings and details required for its construction. My task on this project was to produce the details and manage a team of 3 architectural assistants to make sure the drawings were being delivered on time.

NOTES: Refurbishment Building Block A requirements Minimum 'U' Values to be achieved are as follows: Floor 'U' Value Wall 'U' Value Roof 'U' Value Window/Door 'U' Value
- 0.22 - 0.28 - 0.16 / 0.18 (refer to plans) - 1.6 / 1.8 (refer to plans)
The required air permeability rating for the project is 5m3/h/m2@50pa. To achieve this target the construction will require the highest quality workmanship. A selection of dwellings will be tested when completed. Failure to achieve the target air permeability rating will require very expensive remedial work, which may involve opening-up much of the completed finishes for inspection and corrective action. It is recommended a strict quality control process is implemented by the builder, including checklists for each room at various stages, together with a detailed photographic record which will help to identify defects should they arise. Ensure that all foamed thermal & acoustic insulation has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 5 in either manufacture or composition. Ensure that moisture resistant board is applied to ALL wet areas including Kitchens and Bathrooms.

Cavities filled with 25mm 'Isover' APR 1200. (Please note: The drylining build up is the recommendation of the Architect, yet due to varying wall thicknesses, the build up on the existing solid brick party walls will need to be confirmed on site and in every case, the wall to have Fire Resistance of 60 minutes and to achieve a Sound Rating of 44dB to meet the requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes and to comply with Building Regulations Part E - Resistance to the Passage of Sound). PARTY WALL TYPE 3 (PW03): Two layers of 15mm Soundbloc fixed to the outside faces of two Gypframe 'I' Stud frameworks with studs at 600mm centres. 100mm 'Isover' APR 1200 in the cavity (Cavity width 190mm).
