| Description |
|
| This
church building on Tavistock Place,
built in the 1960s, used to be known as
the Regents Square United Reform
Church. In recent times it has
changed its name to the Lumen URC and
the building has undergone a significant
redesign. The architectural
practice of Theis and Khan were
commissioned to, “ ... create a
new church and community centre open
to people of all faiths.”
They created a building that includes, “
... a new accessible entrance, a
community cafe, a sacred space,
church and three community spaces as
well as ancillary accommodation.” If you look in to the church through the attractive window on Tavistock Place, created by Rona Smith, you can see the conical sacred space designed by Theis and Khan.  "A new garden has been created from the existing car park at the rear as a place of tranquility and calm.” |
