The redevelopment of Central Presbyterian Church in Vancouver's West End community.
This tenant improvement comprises an airy, modern worship hall, a daycare centre, a 3,000 sq. ft. outdoor playground, a commercial kitchen, a dining hall, additional worship rooms, and an office space for Central Presbyterian Church (CPC) employees.
During the project, our team had the unique opportunity to collaborate closely with the Reverend to bring their new church to life. Incorporating historical elements within the modern worship space was an important aspect of this project, including a large stained-glass window which was repurposed from the original church, as well as designing a dedicated space for the church’s original organ.
