St. Andrew’s Church, located at 138 Nathan Road, Kowloon, was built in 1906 and designed by Leigh & ORange in the Gothic Revival Style. The church compound is sited prominently on an upper level reached by a steep, curving access road and steps from Nathan Road. The church is located in the middle of the site, with the children’s playground and Old Vicarage to the north; a new car park area on a higher level to the east; the Christian Centre to the south and the recent Life Centre to the west, fronting Nathan Road. The spatial layout of the church is quite standard, comprising a nave and chancel, baptistry and the tower is sited at the south west corner.

Purcell assisted client liaison with Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO), carried out a condition survey assessing the current state of the Bell Tower and building envelope, and formulated a conservation proposal including a list of proposed works, complete with analysis of possible causes and recommendations..
