Many of the units in St. Aidan's have two-story windows, granite countertops and double-height living rooms with overlooking balconies. Some units also have exposed wooden trusses from the church as well as the church's original dentil molding.
圣艾丹堂项目的很多公寓都有两层楼高的窗户,配有花岗岩台面和挑高客厅,此外还有可以俯瞰外景的阳台。一些公寓还能看到教堂原先用于支撑屋顶的木质桁架,以及教堂屋檐下原有的齿状装饰。
Those rarefied architectural details are a major attraction for many occupants of church-to-home conversions. Shankar Sundaram, 34, a research engineer for Boeing, recently moved into a 2,900-square-foot, two-bedroom townhouse in the former Christian Science church in Seattle with his fiancee. 'We figured that a place would hold its value more if it was unique, like a piece of art,' he says. 'And it's pretty hard to replicate a 100-year-old church.'
这些考究的建筑细节是吸引很多住户选择“教堂豪宅的一大因素。34岁的波音公司(Boeing)研究工程师尚卡尔·桑达拉姆(Shankar Sundaram)最近和未婚妻搬进了西雅图一套面积2,900平方英尺(约合269平方米)、有两间卧室的联排住宅,房子的所在此前是一座基督教科学会教堂。桑达拉姆说:“我们认为如果一座建筑是独一无二的,那么其保值能力更强,就像一件艺术品一样。想要再造一座百年老教堂可是相当不容易。
