Sacred and Everyday
The brief asked for a building that could serve both the solemnity of liturgy and the rhythms of daily community life. Our response was to treat the sacred and the everyday as a single spatial sequence rather than two separate volumes — a covered public space that shifts in scale and character as you move through it, from the open forecourt to the quiet intimacy of the nave.
