As a non-commissioned work, the San Antonio Church project was a labour of love for our team. Inspired by the work of the architect, we studied the building extensively during our time at architecture school. We were drawn to the apparent simplicity of the structure, yet the strong vision of light and shape that permeates throughout. Each space in the church was designed with a specific purpose in mind and is expertly lit to bring visitors to the right state of mind.
Our creative process involved a deep understanding of the architect's design philosophy and vision. We approached the project with a great deal of respect and reverence, seeking to honour the original design while also putting our own stamp on the work.
