Holy adaptive reuse!  More and more these days you see old church structures being reused for new purposes other than those initially intended.  The function of the structure and the program changes, while maintaining architectural details that make the building unique.  Awe-inspiring, beautifully restored old chapels and churches become the new home to restaurants such as the White Rabbit in Singapore by Takenouchi Webb, amazing residences by zecc architeckten, hotels, bookstores, and even a ‘blessed’ club in Brussels.  The result is awesome!  Stunning adaptive reuse projects are the result of an old, abandoned church; discover them today @ TrendCrib.com
