St Paul’s Collegiate Chapel banner

Proudly flanking the main entrance to the school the extensively remodelled Chapel sets the tone for the remaining architecture populating the school grounds. Existing historical features including leadlight windows and brick facades were seamlessly integrated and preserved into the new design. This gracious building, with its generosity of space, serenity and solidity works to encapsulate and nurture the spirit of the school and its people on a day to day basis. (This project was designed and delivered by Martin Swann, DLA Architects Director - formally Chibnall Swann Team Architecture).

About the
Professional

We are dla, creators of top notch architecture

We're small enough to take care of everything from your modest residential renovation and big enough to design, document and deliver multi-million-dollar industrial and commercial facilities, with the in-house expertise to cater for all projects in between.

Dickson Lonergan Architects (DLA) was founded in Whanganui in 1974 with founding partners Bruce Dickson (retired) and the late Barry Lonergan. Once fully established in the Whanganui region, DLA then started to expand the business, first into Wellington in 1999 with Barry and Glenn starting up the capital city office. Then came the Timaru Office headed up by Murray Ackroyd in 2005 and the further expansion to Hamilton in 2010 with Martin Swann. 

The opportunity then arose to open an Auckland office in 2015 with Alana moving north from Wellington. Now with 5 offices, DLA has evolved from its humble beginnings into a nationwide practice, with a passionate team of architects and designers who specialise in all fields from commercial, residential, industrial, interiors, education and public projects through to DLA’s main stay of large scale dairy and food processing architecture.
