In February 2017, the architecture firm Denizen Works, along with boat-builders Turks, were awarded the commission from The Diocese of London to develop designs for a new floating church.

The bespoke floating hub is intended for London’s canal system, and will moor at key regeneration sites, with the aim of developing links with growing communities in the London Mayor’s key Opportunity Areas.

The design has been inspired by church organ bellows and VW camper van pop-up sleeping pods. Denizen’s brief was to provide a dramatic and transformative space within the confines of a canal barge. The translucent bellows will be crafted from sail material.

When navigating the waterways and passing beneath bridges, the boat will be compact and low-lying. When moored, the boat will be capable of expanding into an illuminated Chinese lantern-style beacon with ‘pop-out’ sculptural roof canopies.
