Description

St David Lutheran Church is a building constructed from brown brick with a shutter cast concrete frame and roof structure. It features an elegantly understated design. The west entrance leads to a north church hall and offices, which are at a higher floor level but have a lower roof-line. The west elevation includes a blind wall flanked by strip windows, topped with a low pitch gable and a gull-wing roof made of concrete. The south wall is also blind, while the chancel is both higher and wider than the nave, featuring windows in the returns and across the roof. The east wall is blind but canted. The north wall is covered by the single-storey hall and offices, which have their own large windows. All windows have been replaced with plastic framed ones, altering the appearance of the hall.

Inside, the walls are painted brick, while the concrete frame and ceiling remain unpainted. A striking feature is the concealed natural lighting at the east end, reminiscent of the top-lit interior of the Coychurch Crematorium. Access to the hall on the north side is via steps and wooden screens. The floor is made of polished concrete flags, and there are shuttered concrete elements for the font, lectern, and altar. The church has fixed wooden pews with side aisles only. The only significant alteration is the colored glazing.
