St. Peter's Church.

33,797 Custom-Made Tiles · Gothic-Inspired Landmark · Kuching, Sarawak

Standing as both a place of worship and a pillar of Kuching's Catholic heritage, St. Peter's Church is a testament to faith, legacy and renewal. Since its founding in 1949, the church has served generations of believers, now rising once more with a Gothic-inspired design that echoes the grandeur of Europe's most revered cathedrals.

As the structure reaches new architectural heights, so too does its interior. At the heart of this transformation is a flooring masterpiece: 33,797 custom tiles, crafted exclusively by Kimgres to honour tradition through surface, pattern and devotion.

The Collaboration: Kimgres × St. Peter's Church

This partnership was born from a shared reverence, for heritage, artistry and the spirit of place. Working closely with the church Rector, interior designers and local artisans, Kimgres delivered bespoke floor tiles that elevate the space into a sanctified experience. Commissioned through our Bespoke Customisation Service, the tiles were conceptualised, produced and installed over a six-year journey, beginning in May 2018 and culminating in November 2024.

A Journey Through Sacred Surfaces

Main Aisle & Nave

Custom intricate patterns

Elaborate tile motifs stretch across the floors like woven fabric, delicate yet enduring. These designs ground the church's towering Gothic elements in intimate, human-scaled beauty, guiding worshippers from nave to altar.

IHS Star Motif

Entrance emblem with the Christogram “IHS”

The first step into St. Peter's reveals a sacred symbol in tile: the IHS star motif, a radiant emblem proclaiming “Jesus, Saviour of Mankind.” Encircled by a star, the stylised Christogram honours centuries of tradition, both focal point and act of devotion.

Chapel & Side Altars

Subtle elegance in tone and texture

In these quieter spaces of prayer, the tiles take on a softer voice, neutral hues and flowing patterns create a gentle backdrop for reflection.

Honouring Heritage Through Craftsmanship

From its humble beginnings on reclaimed swampland to its transformation into one of Sarawak's most iconic religious landmarks, St. Peter's story is one of resilience, growth and grace. Kimgres is honoured to contribute to this chapter of renewal, our tiles are vessels of culture and silent companions to thousands of footsteps, prayers and moments shared in faith.
