Summary:

Touching on the social changes that have enabled the conversion of churches into living spaces, this video explains that the design features that draw people to churches, such as stained glass windows and high ceilings, are often difficult to incorporate into a home. It presents examples of the transformations of a large congregational church in England into a bed-and-breakfast; a small country church in Ontario into a traditional house; and a hillside chapel in Italy into a modern home.
