People used to go there to pray, but after a redesign by Zecc Architecten in Utrecht, Netherlands, Residential Church XL is livable as a single family residence. The former church, St. Jakobuskerk, was repurposed with the intent to keep the structure dignified and as close to its original design as possible with as little structural intervention as possible. Religious services haven't occured at St. Jakobuskerk for over 20 years. The only thing that might be weird is throwing a house party here. WWJD? [Daily Icon]
