The refurb includes a new interior and a side extension that offers improved lighting, visibility and accessibility to the church’s parishioners. Celebrated for these additional amenities; St Matthew’s parish also received a commendation in the Building Re-use category at the 2021 Scottish Design Awards. [Bricklink](https://brickability.co.uk/businesses/bricklink) were very pleased to work with Page\\Park Architects and Fleming Buildings Ltd to supply the [Nomade Arctic](https://brickability.co.uk/bricks/nomade-arctic) brick to this project. Part of our [exclusive range](https://brickability.co.uk/bricks/exclusive-brick-range), this brick envelopes the church’s new extension, offering a contemporary exterior to the expanded worship space. ## Project Design Constructed in 1948, the building was originally designed by Glasgow architects, Gillespie Kidd and Coia who are best known for their application of modernism in churches. St Matthew’s Church was also built in the wake of the Second World War and was therefore designed simply both inside and out. In keeping with the modest design of the original build, Page\\Park Architects sought a pale [brick ](https://brickability.co.uk/bricks)that would match the restrained pallet used across the project. Though understated, the architects still intended the expansion would offer the church a modern and assured facade and required the brick to assist this. - The utilitarian design of the existing building benefited our contemporary reworking, and we were able to create an extension that was confident and fresh, complementing the original building without requiring to shy away, or exist in deference. Page\Park Architects ## Project Completion Understanding their client’s requirements, Bricklink were confident when suggesting the Nomade Arctic [facing brick](https://brickability.co.uk/bricks/facing-bricks) to the team. As a pale [grey ](https://brickability.co.uk/brick-finder?brickColour=9850&brickFinish=&brickType=&brickSearch=&page=1)[wirecut brick](https://brickability.co.uk/brick-finder?brickColour=&brickFinish=&brickType=36528&brickSearch=&page=1), this choice perfectly fits Page\\Park’s contemporary design while the brick’s [rolled finish](https://brickability.co.uk/brick-finder?brickColour=&brickFinish=36544&brickType=&brickSearch=&page=1) adds a touch of texture to complement the original build. Now completed, St Matthew’s Church is no longer burdened by its former narrow floorplan or run-down interiors and instead enjoys a flexible, functional space that elevates the celebration experience for all who attend this place of worship. ![RFP TM 3000px 3868](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/_640x700_crop_center-center_none/RFP_TM_3000px-3868_2025-05-23-100827_yfmg.jpg) ![RFP TM 3000px 3872](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/_640x700_crop_center-center_none/RFP_TM_3000px-3872_2025-05-23-100829_yjpy.jpg) Share on ![BRIC Klink ONBLACK GROUP LOGO 2019 RGB Test2](https://brickability.co.uk/uploads/images/logos/_193x107_fit_center-center_none/124395/BRICKlink_ONBLACK_GROUP_LOGO_2019_RGB-Test2.jpg)Speak to our team Get in touch with our knowledgeable teams, to get the information you need and start your project.
