Step 0.5 – Renovations
Before it all began, the site team were hard at work making sure the Chapel was fully renovated to the highest possible standard.

This is the beginning of the end, the final frontier, the glass final design with colour, ready to become the window, it was made to do this, born to do this.
Step 5 – Final Design Completion
Lisa Trevorrow, Abbi Kilfedder, James Clark and Ella van Lierop took the original designs and started to piece and draw them in a collage formation. We looked at which iconic buildings should be used and how we would represent the light element. We had a meeting with Tim to discuss his thoughts and drew some sketches which were ten used to create the final piece.
