DESCRIPTION
Details (Known As) Catholic Church of the Holy Name
Registered Name Catholic Church of the Holy Name
Significance The Catholic Church of the Holy Name is an outstanding, well-resolved example of International Style Modern Movement architecture in South Australia, and demonstrates a high degree of creative and aesthetic accomplishment. Douglas Michelmore's design created one of the first South Australian churches to successfully address contemporary society in secular terms through its architectural expression, by deliberately avoiding visual cues traditionally associated with churches. Notably, Holy Name was the first flat-roofed church built in South Australia. Holy Name was critically acclaimed and recognised as a radical departure in South Australian ecclesiastical architecture within the local and national architectural communities. Significant architectural features include: the selectively expressed steel frame; non-load bearing curtain walls featuring large expanses of glass; overall rectilinear form; flat roof; plain uninterrupted surfaces with an absence of applied decoration; sharpness and precision of detailing; and fixed louvres employed as sun control.

Disclaimer

While due care has been taken to ensure that the SA Heritage Places Database accurately reflects the South Australian Heritage Register and listings of Local Heritage Places in Council areas, the State of South Australia does not accept liability for the use of the SA Heritage Database for any purpose. Users should consult the Department for Environment and Water - Heritage South Australia to confirm the listing of State Heritage Places and the Planning and Design Code or their local council for Local Heritage Places.

In the majority of cases, the maps of State Heritage Places on this web site show the footprints of the most significant structures on a registered Place. However, sometimes they simply indicate the complete area of land comprising the Place. Work is proceeding to further refine the mapping of such places. It is also important to note that development control is not limited to the registered structures but extends to their setting and structures nearby (what is termed ‘development affecting’ a State Heritage Place). Hence it is vital that exact details of the listed place and implications for any proposed development be discussed with Heritage South Australia staff, as they cannot be deduced solely from the information on this web site. The inclusion of a place in the SA Heritage Register gives no right of public access. Permission to visit properties must be sought from the owners. The accuracy of the mapping of State Heritage Places is not guaranteed. Please contact Heritage SA ( https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/sa-heritage-register) if you believe there is an error.
