Dayspring Christian Church
We were commissioned to examine the feasibility of church use of an existing industrial building prior to purchase, and then to provide design solutions to facilitate the relocation of a thriving church community into their own premises in a light industrial area at Castle Hill.
Design Solution
A brief existed from a previous study with the client for a long-term church campus. It was modified to suit a short to medium term occupation of the proposed facility, and design options explored for the relocation. Through close liaison with a working party from the church, several options were generated that reflected the church's desire for a modern and exciting facility.
The project involves an extensive internal fitout which includes a large auditorium, new entry foyer, cafe, bookshop and office accommodation. Modifications have also been made to the external treatment of the building and street frontage landscaping to completely revamp a dreary industrial building into a statement of the contemporary nature of the church, and an offer of invitation to enter.
