Descri­zio­ne del progetto

This signi­fi­cant Church reno­va­tion and expan­sion was requi­red to increa­se capa­ci­ty from 800 to 1,400 sea­ts. The resul­ting sustai­na­ble desi­gn and com­po­si­tion con­ti­nues the Modern voca­bu­la­ry of the exi­sting buil­ding. The buil­ding main­tains Parish memo­ry by crea­ti­ve­ly sal­va­ging cer­tain items, reu­sing the exi­sting struc­tu­re of the nor­thern Cha­pel and sou­thern entry; then, inser­ting the addi­tion in bet­ween the two, brin­ging a flood of human ener­gy into the heart of the buil­ding, bathed in calm nor­thern day­light and war­med by mea­su­red quan­ti­ties of direct day­light. The visi­ble warm focus of the beech wood clad wall and east win­dow behind the main altar rein­for­ce the focus and sen­se of cele­bra­tion that is the focus of the litur­gy the buil­ding is the­re to house.

The signi­fi­cant quan­ti­ties of gla­zing show that the Church is always ‘open’ and visi­ble. In the inte­rior, pari­shio­ners assem­ble in clo­se pro­xi­mi­ty to the litur­gy. The cur­ved pews on the slo­ped floor pro­vi­de a bowl of sea­ts, brin­ging the assem­bly toge­ther with light and natu­ral acou­stics. The hard cof­fe­red cei­ling abo­ve absor­pent walls, allo­ws a pro­fes­sio­nal can­tor to sing unai­ded and for the voi­ce of the assem­bly to be heard in hymn and speech. It allo­ws the sound of hand bells to be heard but yet does not echo. It allo­ws an indi­vi­dual to feel con­nec­ted to the who­le spa­ce and assem­bly. Likewi­se, the neu­tral color pal­let throu­ghout the Wor­ship Spa­ce and Nar­thex allo­ws the gathe­red assem­bly to be the color of the space.

Ulti­ma­te­ly, the desi­gn tries to build on the huma­ni­st and reli­gious values of St. Tho­mas More, to whom the Church is dedicated.
