Fearon Hay wins chapel design competition

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Fearon Hay Architects have won the much sought-after competition to design a chapel at Auckland's Holy Trinity Cathedral. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The firm's design features a glass-walled chapel with a canopy roof featuring mosaic artwork.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"This winning design, in its inherent simplicity and economy of means, provides a powerful starting point for achieving an inspiring, useful and ‘of its time’ Chapel," said David Sheppard, President-elect of the NZ Institute of Architects and the competition judging panel chair. "It promises to become a perfect complement to the great works of St Mary’s, Architect Towle’s Chancel, Dr Toy’s Nave and forecourt, and Jacky Bowring’s memorial gardens.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It will be located at the south end of the Cathedral, where a "temporary" corrugated iron wall has stood for almost 40 years. Here are some of the images developed by Fearon Hay in their entry to the competition:</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none;
