Bachelor of Design with Honours

Reverence investigates the intersection of the sacred and the secular and proposes an adaptive reuse of St Gerard’s Church and Monastery into a public bathhouse. The program facilitates a spiritual journey through a bathing experience, using light, water, and the existing Gothic Revival heritage architecture to facilitate a connection between its religious past and its new purpose. It aims to explore how the secularization of sacred spaces can occur through the notion of reverence.
