New Melleray Abbey

In renovating the monastery church at New Melleray Abbey, HGA designers transformed an 1858 neo-gothic interior into a straightforward, understated worship space. This new design is especially appropriate for the unencumbered life of a Cistercian monastery. related quote
"The good sense of retaining the exterior intact, combined with the courageous decision to expose the masonry wall and timber trusses, had created a sanctuary of great proportions, simplicity and serenity."
