THE CHURCH – SYDNEY

LOCATION: Woolwich, Sydney Australia

ARCHITECT/DESIGNER: Michiru Higginbotham

ARCHITECT IN ASSOCIATION: ARC Architects

BUILDER: Straightup Build

PHOTOGRAPHER: Katherine Lu 

DETAILS: Gineico Lighting was engaged to deliver a lighting solution that could achieve sufficient light for the day to day running of a modern home, whilst remaining subtle and cleverly concealed in the structure, so that it does not clash with the heritage of this magnificent building.

The end result is a truly stunning outcome where high tech, high performance, low glare Italian lighting delivers all the light that is required, whilst literally vanishing into the fabric of the building.

Once a community church, and later, a theatre, The Church, has been renovated into a 3 level contemporary home, while providing a sympathetic adaptation to a historic building. Heritage listed, the brick and sandstone façade is preserved to the public elevations. It’s legacy lives on to frame the progressive lifestyle of our clients.
