2021 Western Architecture Awards Winner
Our Lady Help of Christians Church Foyer
This beautifully crafted addition to an existing church creates a profound focal point at the end of the street. Combining strong symmetry with a gently composed roof form, this is a church that is both welcoming and monumental. The foyer’s glazed frontage, with its stained-glass panels, creates a vibrant transparency at the street edge, inviting visual and physical connections with the community. Its predominantly timber and metal palette creates a warm and robust environment that complements the existing building and responds to the functionality of its spaces. Though small in footprint, this work provides great amenity, and a strong sense of identity for both the building and its community.
