"The morphology of the church is figurative. To preserve the uniqueness of the building on the site is thus to reinvest geometry as a symbolic form but also as a poetic structure that admits new configurations of meaning."
(From competitor's text)
(Unofficial automated translation)
With this project, we wanted to make a clear and direct intervention by preserving the existing entrance, through the large door of the Anglican. The access to the theater is therefore in the longitudinal axis of the church. A reception area has been planned under the rood screen, while the nave will serve as a broadcasting space. An addition has been projected at the back, still in the longitudinal axis of the building. In this extension, the technical functions of the program are located. The foyer will in turn be housed in a portion added, like a low side, to the nave. This new space will be connected to the main space of the nave by several points, in order to create a spatial fluidity allowing, among other things, to accommodate several scenarios according to the use that one wishes to make of the multipurpose room.
For the rear part that we wanted to be opaque, we used stone. For the outgrowths, stained wood. The sloping roofs will be made of galvanized steel. Finally, for the front of the fireplace and the openings at the back, glass with aluminum mullions will be used.
