TIONA CHAPEL

2007, Forster, NSW. A new chapel building to complement the existing open air cathedral-like palm grove which overlooks Wallis Lake.  The concept was an 'iconic' design which does not dominate this sensitive site. Internally a central auditorium surrounded by service accommodation. Spiritual references are included with displays located along pathways documenting the unique history  of the site, encouraging pedestrian exploration. Lightweight construction has been adopted to minimise site impact .
