2013 Hawkes Bay/Gisborne Architecture Awards Winner
Maryknoll Chapel
A unique brief – a chapel for retired priests – has resulted in a simple and honest building with a striking architectural form. Beautifully curved glulam beams create a peaceful and calm interior, and a careful selection of coloured glass in the central skylight, along with the generous bay window, connect the interior with the exterior natural environment. The custom-designed furniture cleverly relates to the building’s structure while providing essential functions within the chapel.
