The design of the church building (Plaats van Samenkomst) of the Apostolic Society on La Rivièrestraat in Hilversum is an exemplary example of a church design from the beginning of the Post 65 period. The architecture consists of a few flat-roofed brick boxes that housed the various functions of the building. The Great Hall, which also contains a balcony with seats, increasing in height, rises high above the other building parts. Next to the building is a separate brick chimney.
