2017 New Zealand Architecture Awards Winner
St John's Church
This addition to an existing church is an elegant, beautifully proportioned little building. In essence a single room, it offers its users a calm, protective environment encouraging of contemplation but also sympathetic to more active occupation. The crafted interior is complemented by simple, effective screening on the street side; the glazed façades on the north and south elevations allow for good connections to a rear garden and an adjacent park. A slight shift in the building’s axis gives it just the right amount of space to express its identity without inducing any separation anxiety.
