HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"To you who are worthy and able to attend the temple, I would admonish you to go often. The temple is a place where we can find peace. There we receive a renewed dedication to the gospel and a strengthened resolve to keep the commandments."
—Thomas S. Monson

Envisioning the Completed Wellington New Zealand Temple

Photorealistic renderings of the Wellington New Zealand Temple were prepared by Virtual View in collaboration with Rough Milne Mitchell Landscape Architects to support the project’s resource consent during the approval process for the temple’s construction. The daytime and nighttime views depict the planned temple, landscaping, and exterior lighting. With the majority of the structural framing now complete, the temple is beginning to take shape as envisioned in the renderings.

Structural Framework Rises for the João Pessoa Brazil Temple

Tilt-up precast-concrete walls now define much of the lower profile of the João Pessoa Brazil Temple. Steel framing is being assembled across the upper portion of the building, establishing the structural framework for the temple’s single central steeple. A tower crane supports the ongoing structural work, while additional foundation and site work continues on the ancillary building across from the temple. The temple is prominently taking shape along the busy roadways bordering the property.

Classical Details Take Shape on the Winchester Virginia Temple

Exterior cladding is transforming the gray walls of the Winchester Virginia Temple with beautiful stonework and classical architectural details, including columns, pediments, and cornices. Scaffolding continues to surround the steeple in preparation for installation of the exterior sheathing. Around the temple, sections of curbing and sidewalks have been installed, beginning to define the finished landscape and circulation areas of the grounds.

Structural Frame Rising for the Tacloban City Philippines Temple

A tower crane now rises prominently above the Tacloban City Philippines Temple site where structural steel framing is advancing on the temple. Steel columns and beams are being assembled to form the building’s framework, providing an early outline of the temple as construction moves upward. The recently installed crane will support the continued erection of the steel structure and other major construction activities.
