The refurbished Large Meeting House in Friends House, which was rebranded for public bookings as ‘The Light’, has been shortlisted for a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) London 2015 award.

John McAslan + Partners were the project architects for the £5 million renovation. Their work involved retaining key heritage features and adding a roof light. This lets light in from above for the first time since the 1950s, when the original windows were hidden by the construction of a ceiling.
