Chapel Street Centre
Christchurch North Methodist Parish.
The Christchurch North Methodist Church replaces the original church demolished due to damage sustained in the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury Earthquakes.
The high level window spire located on the corner of the worship hall expresses its predominant function of worship space, and acknowledges the spire of the old church that was a local landmark.
Richard Chalklen, Parish Council Convenor says “The Christchurch North Methodist Parish wanted to express elements of who we are and our Christian mission to the community in the design of our new facilities. Dalman Architecture responded to this challenge by designing a building that expresses the essence of being a church, open and transparent, inviting, practical and versatile. Our congregation is excited by this stunning design as it has exceeded our expectations in so many ways.”
