Although it's still relatively rare in the U.S., the adaptive reuse of churches has become a popular practice in other countries, like the U.K. In 2006, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors found that since 2001, about 500 churches in London alone had been converted into homes. In other countries, such as Germany and Russia, people still regard the concept of living in a church as disrespectful, says Bart Kellerhuis of Utrecht-based firm Zecc Architects, which has done several church-to-home conversions in the Netherlands.
虽然将教堂改建成住宅的做法在美国相对还比较罕见,但教堂的适应性再利用在英国等国已经很常见了。2006年,英国皇家特许测量师学会(Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors)的调查发现,自2001年以来,单是在伦敦就有大约500座教堂被改建成住宅。但总部位于荷兰乌得勒支(Utrecht)的建筑师事务所Zecc Architects的巴特·凯勒休伊斯(Bart Kellerhuis)说,在德国和俄罗斯等国家,人们仍然认为住在教堂里是一种不敬的行为。Zecc Architects曾将荷兰的多座教堂改建成了住宅。
One of challenges in such conversions is reducing the vast space of a church into something more livable. Living spaces can feel overwhelmingly grand, and heating costs can be considerable.
改建工作所面临的挑战之一是如何将教堂的巨大空间变成更加适合居住的场所。住在教堂会让人感觉居住空间异常庞大,而且取暖费开支也是相当可观的。
