教堂是一个避难所和连接的地方，在一个迅速扩展的环境中，由连接多个社区的主干道上的混合用途开发组成。这种简单的白色预制混凝土形式与周围郊区的土调和瓦状环境形成了鲜明的对比。

The church is a place of sanctuary and connection within a rapidly expanding contextual environment composed of mixed-use development along an arterial street connecting multiple neighborhoods. The simple, white precast concrete form sits in stark contrast to the earth tone sided and shingled environment of the surrounding suburb.

网站和结构是按照城市网格的一个角度组织起来的，以创建与街道的活跃关系。倾斜的场地允许整个设施有一个接近停车场的较低层。24/7礼拜堂将建筑锚定到现场，向上伸出一个象征性的十字架，并向外伸出一堵墙，形成主聚集空间的南面。这些具体的形式被雕刻的纹理，创造深度通过起伏的水平的阳光和阴影一整天。

The site and structure is organized at an angle to the grid of the city to create an activated relationship to the street. The sloping site allows the entire facility to have an accessible lower level adjacent to parking. The 24/7 chapel anchors the structure to the site, reaching upward with a symbolic cross, and reaching outward with a wall that forms the southern face of the main gathering space. These concrete forms are sculpted with a texture that creates depth through the undulating levels of sunlight and shadow throughout the day.

 Floor Plan

聚集墙，从礼拜堂的形式，逐渐增加孔隙度，以提供意见，并从崇拜的环境。这些多孔的墙壁将始终是主要的焦点，作为一个组织设备，以通知设施的成长随着时间的推移。教堂的体积包含在一个简单的矩形脚印中，周围是光滑的白色混凝土墙。窗户是有选择地放置，以提供日光的内部，而动画的外部，而不是邻居。在敬拜空间内，白色的内折壁面继续包裹空间和体积，最终形成一个玻璃十字架，通过光来显现。

The gathering wall, which grows from the chapel form, gradually increases in porosity to provide views to and from the worship environment. These porous walls will always remain the primary focus, serving as an organizing device to inform facility growth over time. The volumes of the church are contained within a simple rectangular footprint wrapped by smooth, white concrete walls. Windows are selectively placed to provide daylight to interiors while animating the exterior in contrast to the neighborhood. Within the worship space, white interior folded wall surfaces continue to wrap space and volume and culminate in a glass cross that is revealed through light.

这个占地20英亩的地块是用低维护的当地植被和一个池塘来管理周围更大系列住宅和商业用地的雨水。随着时间的推移，祈祷散步和纪念树林将围绕着池塘。

The twenty-acre site is developed with low-maintenance native vegetation and a pond to manage storm water for the larger series of residential and commercial lots surrounding it. Over time, a prayer walk and a memorial grove of trees will surround the pond.

这个项目代表了快速发展的教会发展的第一阶段.因此，规划要求是提供一系列多用途空间，以建立一个可以随时间扩展的核心。规划功能包括700座灵活的礼拜空间、聚会空间、24/7小礼拜堂、咖啡厅、托儿所、办公室和教育设施。此外，该部还为更大范围内需要帮助的人提供厨房和食品储藏室功能。为了支持这一新的卫星集会，这个结构为连接、社区和避难所创造了一个环境-所有这些都在一个有限的预算范围内。

The project represents phase one of development for a fast-growing congregation. As such, the programmatic requirements were to provide a series of multi-purpose spaces to establish a core that could be expanded over time. The programmatic functions include a 700-seat flexible worship space, a gathering space, 24/7 chapel, coffee shop, nursery, offices, and educational facilities. In addition, the ministry provides a kitchen and food pantry function for those in need within the larger community. To support this new satellite congregation, the structure creates a setting for connection, community and sanctuary — all within a modest budget.
