Far more than a residence for retired priests, the Long Term Care Home of the Dominican Order features a private Chapel at its architectural heart. The project includes 60 rooms, 1 main Chapel, kitchen and dining hall, and a library. The façade draws from Gothic architecture with its twin spires, pointed arches, and stained glass windows, yet the intricate details are simplified for a contemporary aesthetic. Clean white surfaces, subtle moldings, and geometric accents replace heavy tracery, giving the building a look that is grand but modern. Inside, the sanctuary is stripped of the ornate lines typical of Gothic design and crowned with a hemispherical dome. Soft, natural light fills the space, creating an environment that is solemn yet welcoming, sacred yet intimate. Melanie completed a full architectural design service in 2021, as the same year the construction finished.
