James Gorst Architects completes White Eagle Lodge temple complex

James Gorst Collage

New home for a spiritual organisation seeks to promote ‘peace and simplicity’ through pallette of brick and wood

James Gorst Architects has completed a new temple complex in rural Hampshire.

Designed for White Eagle Lodge, a spiritual organisation founded in 1936, the project sits within the South Downs National Park. James Gorst Architects won the commission in a two-stage competition in early 2017.

The temple, which is open to the public, replaces an existing 1970s structure on the site. The new building consists of a temple, library, chapels, meeting spaces and catering kitchen. The newly landscaped grounds have been designed by McWilliam Studio.
