I really love its architecture. Triangular shaped with raw finishing material, sunlight filling the interior through beautifully placed stain glass create unique experience. Even if you look at the details: timber structure join, windows, seatings or roof gutter and ponds as water reserve. It's truly another level of craftsmanship.

I've sung in here a few times now. It is a really interesting and iconic place, and has a special place in the history of New Zealand architecture. It's quite small, made mostly out of concrete, and has an alter made from a huge block of granite. It's no longer a Chapel, and is used for small concerts now. It has good acoustics.

A church with lovely architecture and presence. The midday sun illuminates the stained glass windows beautifully and radiates down to paint the walls and floor with floor with colours
