Story

Challenge: To honor the existing building's spirit, geometry, and form, while enhancing he development of community by providing a variety of spaces for fellowship and interaction. - Addition to existing building designed by Gunnar Birkerts, FAIA - New lobby and flexible fellowship rooms for much-needed hospitality and community space. Corridor space is utilized to display the work of a very active community of artists - Pair of radiused glass walls serve as semi-transparent veils, which act as a threshold between the outer world and the addition - The preserved exterior of the existing building and the new ministry spaces form blocks of "village" buildings around the original "town center" - Addition's geometry is based upon gathering around the communion circle, the culmination of worship at the Church of the Servant
