MURPHY PARTNERS INC.

| Role: detail design, multi-disciplinary coordination, construction drawings, 3D Rendering, contract admin |

The need to redevelop arose out of a tragic fire that destroyed the heritage church which was originally constructed in 1878. The design respects the origianl Gothic Revival style while integrating modern materials and construction techniques. Large windows allow natural light to fill the interior, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The new building will serve not only as a place of worship but also as a community hub. It has spaces for gatherings, events, and outreach programs. Stained glass windows that survived the fire is incorporated into the new design.

The project involves the design of a 16-storey senior care community on an existing medical office site, incorporating 3 levels of underground parking. The first two levels of the building are allocated for professional offices, clinics, and laboratories, providing essential healthcare services.
