Praise Assembly
The Praise Assembly is an interior design for a church and community hub in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. The venue occupies about 1,400 square meters on half a floor of an office tower. The layout has three zones for worship, community and youth, and includes study areas, pantries, a therapy room, and activity and meeting rooms. Informal corridor and foyer spaces allow visitors to mingle and create their own activities. A feature wall shelf shaped like a tree canopy holds seating and bar tables. The shelf is made of birch plywood cut with CNC machines.
