"The architectural approach of the addition is based on the preservation of the human scale that characterizes Anglican. The additions are therefore made in accordance with this approach both in terms of massing and the internal organization of spaces."

In this project, the intention was to build a second nave, more modest than the existing building, to accommodate the theater's new foyer. In front of this second nave is a new forecourt that directs people from the street to the foyer.
The addition is distinguished by its transparency and its size, so that users can distinguish the reception and meeting spaces from the performance spaces. Between the new and the old, the space closes on an interior courtyard. This space is laid out along the axes of the church's buttresses, whose visual and structural impact is unavoidable. In indirect relation with the interior courtyard, a small exterior amphitheatre was imagined, which unfolds on the natural slope of the land.
In terms of massing and language, the new complex takes up the characteristics of the Anglican building: sloping roof, simple but refined details, triangular shapes in the treatment of the facades. Durable and low-maintenance materials were chosen for the cladding of the new building. Sawn stone, aluminum millwork, copper-plated metal, treated exposed lumber, interlocking paving stones and asphalt shingles will ensure the longevity of the addition without competing with the Anglicane.
The ensemble created by this new project is intended to be a true broadcasting center that can be appropriated by all the actors of the site.
