shedkm’s design for the Lighthouse Church aims to support a renewed Christian presence and community service in the heart of Heswall, Merseyside. The building design revitalises community use, public engagement and the church’s mission to serve the town, embracing the congregation’s established ethos of welcome and hospitality and improving the church’s visible presence on the high street to create a stronger sense of place and new identity. Designed to be a bold intervention, the church’s distinctive form and ‘shop window’ facade offers views of the activities happening within, inviting people to step inside and re-establishing the church’s presence at the heart of the community.
