Built in 1961, the Lukas Church has not been used by any congregation since 2008. The new owner opted for a mixed-use of the building offering a daycare center, doctors offices and apartments. The architects added several ceilings in an effort to create a more economic use of the space. In reminiscence of its original use, they developed stairwells covering the entire height of construction preserving the authentic stained glass windows of the church.
