TREM Interior – A Spiritually Grounded, Smart Worship Space
Where Worship Meets Modern Design Excellence
In Nigeria, Cadright Architecture has completed a sophisticated interior transformation for TREM (The Redeemed Evangelical Mission) blending spiritual atmosphere with contemporary design principles. From its grand auditorium to youth zones and admin offices, the project integrates premium finishes, thoughtful lighting, and smart technologies to enhance both the spiritual experience and functional performance of the ministry’s key spaces.
Project Overview
Project Title: Interior Design for TREM – Spiritual Warmth Meets Modern Function
Location: Nigeria
Project Type: Institutional – Church Interior
Client Type: Religious Organization
Services Rendered: Interior Architecture, Phased Strategy, Smart Systems Planning
Project Date: 2025
Status: Completed
Phased Interior Transformation for Active Ministry
Given the continuous operation of the facility, the project was executed in controlled phases to avoid disruption to church activities:
- Phase 1: Main auditorium redesign with acoustic treatment and AV integration
- Phase 2: Reception, administration block, and conferencing zones
- Phase 3: Youth-focused breakout spaces and circulation nodes
Each phase was managed to ensure minimal downtime, with rapid on-site execution and pre-planned material logistics to align with event schedules and ministry needs.
Purposeful Design for Worship and Connection
Cadright’s approach focused on creating a space that felt sacred yet modern—welcoming to both long-time congregants and new visitors:
- Spatial Zoning: Clear visual and acoustic separation between functional areas
- Natural Light: Large windows with light-filtering treatments to soften indoor brightness
- Comfort-Focused Seating: Ergonomic layouts for extended services or events
- Color Palettes: Muted, warm tones to promote serenity with subtle vibrant accents in youth areas
The resulting atmosphere is one of calm focus, elevating the worship experience while supporting daily administrative operations.
Smart Interior Systems for Seamless Functionality
Technology was embedded as a silent partner in the worship experience—enhancing comfort, sound, and energy performance without visual clutter:
| Smart Area | Provision Highlights |
|---|---|
| Lighting | Smart control zones for ambient, task, and event lighting |
| HVAC | Automated air conditioning with motion-triggered zoning |
| Audio/Visual | Integrated sound systems, networked AV booths, and projection support |
| Energy Backup | Solar-powered inverter system for uninterrupted operation |
| Utilities | Motion-activated faucets, restrooms, and power-saving protocols |
A centralized system management console ensures ministry leaders can control environments intuitively, even remotely when needed.
Security, Accessibility, and Sustainability
Beyond aesthetics, the design incorporated:
- CCTV and entry-point surveillance conduits
- Shading strategies and ventilation planning for thermal comfort
- Accessible restrooms, ramps, and wide doorways for inclusive use
- Energy-efficient lighting and ventilation systems to reduce operational costs
The project proves that faith-based spaces can also be models of modern efficiency and inclusiveness.
