Ercol Chairs at St Peter

Ercol Lara Chairs at The Chapel of St. Peter by Stevens Lawson Architects We are delighted to share the images of the newly completed Chapel of St. Peter at Auckland School St. Peter's College. It has been a privilege to be involved in providing the furniture for a stunning new piece of New Zealand architecture. The simple, light filled worship and communal space reminds us of the work of Japanese minimalist architect Tadao Ando. Bold, angular forms in white with inviting timber details to the interior create a soft, contemporary environment. Electric blue carpet offers a vibrant frame to the elements above it – pale ash timber chairs, marble and brass elements. Finishing touches like the subtle, textural use of materials – laid timber panelling and delicate marble tiles to create a negative floor detail – adds depth and character along with a reminder of the simplicity of nature. The mastery of this building is the repeated, angular geometric window shapes and exterior forms. These create intelligent openings as well as a versatile reading of the space as light shifts direction and illuminates the room in new ways. Image Credit: Stevens Lawson Architects
