Our first project was the demolition of the old manse and design of the new timber clad facility that was able to function as a large facility home with accessible bathrooms as well as holding meetings without disturbing the residing vicars family.
Our second project was to design a foyer, lounge, library, kitchenette and toilet facilities to serve the historic church and from a link to the 1960 hall and admin block. We took our design cue from the beautiful historic Lych gate prominent on the Remuera Road frontage. The stone pillars and the interior design details are well liked as harmonious with the beautiful dark timber interior on the church.
The renovation of the Lych gate required collaboration with the Historic Places Trust and the carefully controlled reconstruction of damaged elements to match the original design.
