  1. Part 7.1 What are the basic design considerations for entry & hospitality?

  2. Building for welcome “Remember to welcome strangers into your homes. There are some who did that and welcomed angels without knowing it” Hebrews 13 2 GNB “…an elder must…be hospitable and love what is good” Titus 1 6-8 GNB

  3. Entry & welcome • What makes a building appear inviting? • How does a person in the street see your church? • Is it inviting and welcoming or foreboding and private? • Would it be OK to go in, sit down, check my social media and then leave?

  4. Entry & welcome

  5. Entry & welcome

  6. Hospitality • Can I see food and signs of good coffee? • Do they want me in here? • Can I see what they are about and if it suits me? • What makes them tick? Do they have fun? Is it meaningful?

  7. Hospitality

  8. Foyer • Place for welcome and hospitality. • Place for gathering after worship. • Consolidates your worship into weekly reality as you catch-up with others. • Furniture & space must encourage socialising. • It either says “stay” or “go home”.

  9. Kitchens

  10. Kitchens • Full catering standard or hybrid domestic? • Complying with environmental health. • Will others beyond our members use it? • Who is responsible for hygiene? • How do we avoid health risks? • How many are we catering for?

  11. Storage • Floor space costs about $3000/m2 - so ask do we need to keep all this stuff? • If we share our building - and we should - they need storage for their stuff. • Cupboards are easier to access and keep tidy than rooms. Need both. • Cleaning and garden equipment.

  12. Accessibility • Disability legislation requirements must be met. • Any platform above 1 step needs lift or ramp. • Extra space for disabled car parking needed. • Avoid discrimination - all to enter at same place. • Hearing and sight disabilities provided for. • Show that God loves us all equally.

  13. Different uses

  14. Actions • Discuss all these issues with your architect. • Ask what activities have been planned for? • Ask how can it be used Sundays, weekdays and evenings. • Ask what message will this building convey?

  15. Next time: What are the basic design considerations for auditoria and gathering - Part 7.2
