Huge congratulations to Cwmni Fran Wen’s, winner of the Architecture Gold Medal of the Eisteddfod for their converted church home Nyth
St Mary’s Church in the centre of Bangor has been converted into a flexible arts and performance space for Frân Wen, a professional theatre company that provides activities for young people.
Designed by the London-based architecture firm Manalo & White and led by architect Takuya Oura, selectors Sarah Featherstone and Gavin Harris described the project as “a thoughtful and imaginative reworking of a Grade II listed church, balancing respect for the building’s historic character with a clear understanding of contemporary cultural value.”
