A gleaming new detail has appeared high above the Querétaro Mexico Temple, drawing the eye to the top of its central tower. Crews have installed the gold finial and lantern assembly atop the blue patterned dome, adding a distinctive finishing accent to the temple’s silhouette. The crowning feature marks a significant step as the exterior nears completion, while finish work continues inside the temple and landscaping progresses across the surrounding grounds.

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.

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.

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.
