Description:

Nazareth House is one of the largest aged care projects IKON has been involved in. The multi-million dollar aged care development is a reincarnation of the site’s rich architectural heritage left devastated by the Christchurch earthquakes. In the vision for this development, the reimagination and reconstruction of the Nazareth House Chapel was a crucial requirement. With an eclectic collection of salvaged elements from the historic earthquake-damaged chapel, the design needed to form a new home for these heritage components while cohering with the contemporary care facility. The resulting design balances modernity and familiarity, providing Nazareth residents with a captivating space for pause and worship.
