College chapel restoration completed
The restoration of the St Peter's Lutheran College Chapel at the Indooroopilly campus has recently been completed. LatStudios collaborated with the College and project team on this significant milestone in preserving the heart of the College’s community.
The Chapel and the surrounding landscape are interpreted as ‘a building within a field’—where the landscape design is restrained to support the Chapel’s sense of presence as a central object in a broader bushland setting.
Our approach was essentially a restorative approach that resulted in a reserved native landscape outcome. Research of historic images and records informed the removal of decades of adhoc plantings to let the building visually and physically breathe again with a palette of low native and accent plantings.
We would like to thank the St Peter’s Lutheran College Chapel Rejuvenation team: Alan Peet, Director, St Peter’s Lutheran College, Property and Facilities (Project Lead); m3architecture; Ruth Woods - Heritage Architect and Palladium Infrastructure (PM) amongst the broader project team.
