A new church in Emsworth was created in direct response to site and briefing constraints, with the church community being heavily involved throughout the design process. The design reinstates a positive street frontage, creates a flexible, central community kitchen, uses daylight in highly innovative ways, features cross references and small, deep-set coloured slot windows.

The building’s gables and form give the appearance of a masonry monolith, despite being naturally ventilated and to a large degree naturally lit.
