Shree Swaminarayan Temple, Kingsbury
Cultural
The Shree Swaminarayan Temple campus stands as a testament to nearly a decade of dedication and tenacious toil. This ambitious community led project intersects the rich heritage of traditional Hindu architecture with contemporary design and construction techniques, serving as a vibrant centre for religious, cultural, and social unity within the Kingbury community.

Status | Completed |





The complex is made up of three elements – the temple (Mandir), multi-functional community hall and workspace – connected by a landscaped courtyard and surrounded by a screen wall. The buildings are brought together and connected through considered landscaping that creates clear and accessible routes through the complex while providing public space for activity and celebration.
The project achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating, making it the world’s first ‘eco-temple’; in 2015 it was recognised with a Civic Trust Award, and “Best Community led project” in the London Planning Awards.
