The Majestic Church Development occupies the end of a block bordered by Durham South, Walker, and Wilmer Streets in an industrialised area of Christchurch CBD. Two modern interventions will be confidently inserted into the existing collection of industrial buildings, many of which will open into a new courtyard formed by the shell of one of the existing structures. These existing buildings will be refurbished to include a large auditorium and community spaces while retaining their existing industrial character.
