 | | In 1931 Coia began working for the Roman Catholic Church, for which he designed over 30 churches. |
 | | A digression into the International Style for a religious pavilion (1938; Bellahouston Park) for the International Exhibition, Glasgow, introduced a starkness of material and form not repeated until St Pauls (19567), Glenrothes, a small church, brilliantly conceived in response to liturgical reform and economic stringency, which became a model for future designs. |
 | | Coias secular work was less successful, however, although his Léon shop front (1928), Glasgow, the Palace of Industry Pavilion, also for the International Exhibition of 1938, and Our Ladys High School (19634), Cumbernauld, are notable. |
