BDH Constructions, providers of expert building services in Warrnambool, were engaged to deliver a refined and functional extension to a historic sandstone church. The project involved the partial demolition of an existing addition to make way for a brand-new worship hall and updated amenities, catering to a growing congregation.
Designed to accommodate up to 200 people, the new hall features a light-filled foyer, a dedicated parent’s room, and ample storage areas. In addition to the main worship space, the adjoining section of the building was fully renovated to include a commercial kitchen and updated bathroom facilities, enhancing both functionality and community use.
The construction incorporated a combination of concrete raft slabs and suspended timber flooring, alongside structural steel with exposed steel fascias and traditional timber framing. This blend of structural methods enabled a visually striking and durable build that complements the character of the original church.
Premium finishes throughout the project included:
- Standing seam copper cladding and roofing for a timeless exterior
- Expressed joint ply eaves and internal linings for architectural detail
- Bluestone paving and exposed concrete for texture and contrast
- Glass balustrades for clean, modern lines and safety
The completed extension is a seamless blend of old and new — a sophisticated, welcoming space that honours the church’s heritage while serving the needs of its future. BDH Constructions’ attention to detail and collaborative approach ensured that every aspect of this project reflected quality and thoughtful design.
