Paul Stallan _ Studio have been commissioned by the Diocese of Motherwell to prepare refurbishment and restoration proposals for Grade ‘A’ listed Gillespie Kidd & Coia R.C. Church St. Bride’s, in East Kilbride. This Scottish interpretation of the brutalist style of 1960’s architecture is one of the finest buildings to be produced by one of the most influential Scottish practice of the era. The embellished red brick box conceals an atmospheric church naturally illuminated by subtle architectural devices, which facilitate the delicate transmission of light throughout this spectacular space.
