Peter Goodwin, Jury Chairman and director of Chambers Goodwin & Partners, Rickmansworth, said, “Now occupied for some 3 years, this dramatic building located on a bland arterial road still shocks as it comes into view. There is something really special about this design which is innovative, stark and yet welcoming and enticing. With walls and roof built of laminated solid timber panels like a pack of cards – still a rarity over here – and clad in zinc and laminate board, it is in complete contrast to its Victorian surroundings. The inside spaces – particularly the foyer and worship area – are modern and Spartan and yet they have real character and a strong sense of spirituality. Those running the church on a daily basis are full of enthusiasm and praise.” Last Call For Nominations For The Industry's Top Diploma Providers

“The RIBA East Jury teams since 2002 have seen nothing else like it in their visits. Virtually all those canvassed gave it their vote for one of the best 3 buildings they had visited for the RIBA East Spirit of Ingenuity Awards. It is also a building that serves its community and makes a real difference to ordinary peoples’ lives.”
