The existing church lacked natural light and the décor of brown and beige brickwork coupled with yellow varnished pine made the interiors feel gloomy on overcast days. The introduction of rooflights, painting out of the brickwork, and sanding back of the existing timber has created a bright, airy and uplifting atmosphere. A darker datum has been introduced to the lower half of the walls which acknowledges the existing brick soldier course in the main church hall. This datum ties the two hall spaces together while also grouping the new in-built furniture and wall linings into one zone.
