The project involved extension and addition to Heritage New Zealand, category-1 building - The 1914 Church designed by Fredrick de Jersey Clere. The building program incorporated structural upgrade of existing wing, community centre hall catering more than 200 patrons, communal spaces, administration offices, commercial kitchen to cater to over 400 patrons and outdoor spaces. The scope included working with Heritage NZ and extensive consultation with various user groups. The resultant design is a sensitive juxtaposition of new against the old, demonstrating a smooth transition from past to present.
