LDS TEMPLE VIEW STAKE CENTRE

4 000m2 large multi-use Stake Centre community building, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, incorporating a chapel, cultural hall, teaching blocks and administration areas. The architecture is sympathetic to the neighbouring temple and existing temple view precinct with its 1950’s American style overtone.

The attention to materials and detail is reflective of the importance of this building’s juxtaposition and relationship to the temple. The strong axis through the building, including its one large interior courtyard, is extended out into the extensively landscaped grounds. The building’s design is based on a notion of simple, honest materials, with an elegance and yet understated presence. The building is in the construction phase.
