The lighting design on St John's church facade creates a focal point within Hyde Park Crescent’s public realm.
The
13th Century Gothic revival church was originally designed by architect
Charles Fowler (better known for designing the neo-Classical Covent
Garden Market).
The new lighting design by Refolo Landscape
Architects aims at highlighting the colourful stained glass window
framed by round tracery. The ogee arched entrance doorway is washed with
soft blue light enhancing its Sigmoid curves.
The blue light on both the entrance way and tall bell-cot tower represent purity and calmness.
The
tall side lit spires softly elevate the building towards the sky making
it a prominent feature from within as well as from afar.
Client: Church Commissioners for England
Project Manager: Colliers International

Butcher Ltd
