WILLOMORE SYNAGOGUE
FLOORPLAN
THE CONCEPT FOR THIS DESIGN WAS TO MODERNISE AN OLD CHURCH IN WILLIMORE TO A LOCAL HOTEL, BED IN BREAKFAST. WILLIMORE WAS FOUNDED IN 1864, THE FOUNDER WAS WILLIAM MOORE. IT BECAME A MUNICIPALITY IN 1884. THE JEWISH COMMUNTIY DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE IN THE AREA AND THE SYNAGOGUE CAN STILL BE SEEN IN VICTORIA STREET. THE CHURCH WAS BOUGHT IN 1906. THE FOUNDATION STONE WAS LAID IN 1907 AND ERRECTED IN 1908. RECENTLY IN 2022 THIS CHURCH WAS BOUGHT, THE CLIENT WHO BOUGHT THE CHURCH WOUD LIKE TO USE THIS OPPURTUNITY TO ENHANCE THE URBAN FABRIC OF THIS VERY DERLOICT FEEL OF THE TOWN, BY CREATING A SPACE WHERE TRANSFERING TOURISTS CAN EXPERIENCE WHAT THE TOWN HAS TO OFFER.
