Stairway to Heaven. First Church of Christ Scientist (now demolished). By Athfield Architects.

A black-and-white photograph capturing the rooftop staircase of Wellington, Aotearoa / New Zealand's, First Church of Christ Scientist, designed by Sir Ian Athfield in the early 1980s. This surreal, skyward stairway—described as "created for the sheer imagining of its rise"—embodied Athfield’s playful yet profound architectural vision. Demolished in 2022, the church’s loss underscores the impermanence of built heritage. This image serves as a tribute to Athfield’s legacy and the city's architectural memory.
