[ HONOURABLE SOCIETY OF LINCOLN'S INN ]

In collaboration with Rick Mather Architects

2014

Following the completion of a masterplan for the property of Lincoln’s Inn, the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn hired Rick Mather Architects to redesign portions of the Great Hall, extend the library, and explore the possibility of creating flats in the roofspace of the Old Buildings.

Following extensive research of the history and use of the site and buildings, and examining the current conditions of Lincoln’s Inn, with focus on the areas to be redesigned, the proposals were presented to the Society to be approved.

The proposals are carefully considered to maximize use of the site while limiting any negative impact on the existing buildings and landscape. The opportunities to make changes aim to enhance the setting of the Inn and its historically listed buildings.

Worked with team on conceptual design, design development, historical research, and client presentations.

This study examined the potential for adding residential accommodation to the roofspaces of the Old Square Buildings 8-14 in the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn in London.

In converting the roofspaces into residences the majority of the space on the floors below would remain unaffected, and leave the appearance of the buildings the same from the exterior. Each flat utilizes natural daylight with views across Lincoln’s Inn and parts of London, and access to a rooftop terrace.
