Newlife Anglican Church

NewLife Anglican Church, Oran Park, is a contemporary interpretation of a ‘centuries old campanile set in a village court’. Set in the forecourt is the dynamic 20 metre high coloured glass tower, symbolically representing the mix of people forming this new community.

The open design is ideal for supporting a socially connected environment. The church interior is an open space with visual connection to the outside, with the design allowing the sun to infiltrate into the open foyer and auditorium. The open ideas of transparency support the key sustainability initiatives of harnessing natural light and ventilation. The interior spaces flow through to the exterior via vast, transparent doors creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Responding to Sydney’s rapid population growth, NewLife Anglican church supports the community, offering an inviting and welcoming space that extends to the community: the glass tower a beacon on the hill.
