The proposed additions will expand the site’s use, enhancing its role for a variety of purposes. Currently home to a homestead, community garden, function centre, crèche, and railway carriages, the site will evolve to support both communal and individual activities in alignment with the core values of following the way of Christ, and participating in the community and the mission of the church. New spaces for visitors, staff, and clients foster relaxation and engagement, and all buildings provide access to private open space and shared areas for interaction. The contemporary design includes a gallery, museum, commercial kitchen, function room, chapel, administration offices and amenities. These spaces are arranged around a central courtyard, with the chapel serving as a focal point for gathering and connection. A separate complex, similarly, organized around a courtyard, comprises classrooms, counselling rooms, and amenities designed to promote healthy learning and respite.
