St Columbas Church

The congregation of St. Columbas Roman Catholic Church in the Culloden area of Inverness approached us via a local contractor in early 2005, with a view to commissioning a new build church on some scrub land in Inverness.

The requirement for a low maintenance chapel building capable of extension to accomodate an ever expanding population, but typically a congregation of between 150- 200 people at peak times.

The design simplifies the relationship between ancilliary spaces and the main chapel by splitting the two forms of the building, giving clear definition both internally and externally to which spaces are more important.
