Description

Churches big and small throughout Aotearoa New Zealand are vital spaces of culture and community but there are increasing challenges with heritage restoration and their relevance  in today’s world.
Around the country there are parishes operating from halls and community centres while precious traditional places of worship are boarded up. 
A recent renovation in Pōneke Wellington offers inspiration. On Friday a small Anglican church in the suburb of Island Bay won the Small Project category at the New Zealand Architecture Awards.
