DPAI assisted Living Hope Christian Assembly in converting a 1960’s warehouse in Hamilton’s East end into a second campus for the church. Participatory design sessions assisted in programming the space and in determining budgets and scope of various project phases.
The design included exterior upgrades and a full interior renovation. The exterior corrugated metal cladding was repaired and repainted to give the building an upgraded look.
A new building entrance was introduced at the rear along with a new large window that floods the common areas of the foyer and café with natural light and views of the green escarpment backdrop. The existing building interior was gutted down to its structure and new programmatic zones and spaces were arranged into volumes with a clear diagram that accommodate the diverse needs of the congregation.
