church was small compared to other main regional churches in the country. Hence, in 1964, the wooden church was demolished and remodeled into a concrete-looking structure by architect Manuel Chiew to expand it. The diocese hired Chiew though in the design formulation for the church, many opposed his design since Chiew's new gloomy concrete design was not aesthetically-pleasing and was visually gloomy for an archdiocese cathedral. The model also made the church look smaller due to the low disproportionate facade. When the church was almost finished and the real design was fully visualized, it was too late to halt the construction which was paid by the diocese through public donations. Of the many cathedrals in the
Philippines, Davao Cathedral remains as one of least notable in the country due to its current structure. There have been calls to remodel the cathedral into the indigenous earthquake-baroque architecture or other pleasant-looking designs known in the Philippines.

Diocese of Davao solicited funds to enlarge the church. Architect Chiew was responsible for the design of the new church, which was that of an ark, hence the pointed front where the cross
