Locks Heath Free Church

Hampshire

Re-Format produced an inspiring design for the transformation of a vibrant existing church to provide a new 500 seat worship space alongside various community facilities, including a sports hall, café and meeting rooms.

The concept was a floating timber ‘lamella’ structure, which in structural terms is made up of individual pieces of wood that rely on each other to form a structural whole. Re-Format used this as a powerful metaphor for the church in which the building speaks strongly of the community bond.
