The Victory Christian Church’s Beaumont Centre is a flourishing center for worship in Auckland. DKO’s addition to the existing auditorium allowed Victory to reconnect with its congregation and the City of Auckland and is now a successful venue for community events in this vibrant New Zealand city.

DKO designed a new administration building, terrace areas, and a 3 level carpark as well as reinvigorated multi-purpose rooms and related amenities areas in the existing auditorium.
