Snug Architects lodges plans for prayer landmark

Snug Architects' Wall of Answered Prayer proposals, which are now in for planning

Project team eyes December start on site for 50m tall Möbius strip

Snug Architects has submitted its proposals for a £6.25m national prayer landmark on the outskirts of Birmingham.

The Southampton-based practice beat four other finalists – including proposals from Italian and Danish architects – to land the Wall of Answered Prayer commission in a RIBA competition last year. More than 130 architecture practices from 28 countries entered submissions.

Project bosses confirmed this week that Snug’s winning design, which is a 50m tall Möbius strip made from a million bricks, each one representing an answered prayer, had been submitted to North Warwickshire borough council for approval.
