架构师提供的文本描述。祈祷之家是一座新的教堂，为哈蒂斯堡的一个小教堂设计和建造，教堂的入口是圣所，门通向一个光线充足的房间，里面有抛光的混凝土地板和温暖的木凳。祭坛上方悬挂着一盏几乎是空灵的大吊灯，映照着圣殿明亮的白色墙壁。天花板由带有轨道照明的钢制托梁组成。大的店面窗户位于地板上方，允许光线进入空间，同时也使房间感觉私密。从后面的窗户可以看到桃树。

Text description provided by the architects. The House of Prayer is a new church designed and constructed for a small congregation in Hattiesburg, MS. From the front entry, sanctuary doors open to a light-filled room with polished concrete floors and warm wooden pews. A large, almost ethereal pendant light hangs above the altar and reflects the bright white walls of the sanctuary. The ceiling is comprised of steel joists with track lighting. Large storefront windows sit high above the floor allowing light into the space while still making the room feel private. Crepe myrtle trees can be seen out the rear window.

从保护区的内部入口是研究员大厅的入口处。餐厅有从地板到天花板的窗户和酒吧式吊灯，让游客可以在开阔明亮的区域坐下吃饭。

Across the interior entry from the Sanctuary is the entrance to the Fellowship Hall. A dining space with floor to ceiling windows and bar-like pendant lights allows visitors to sit and eat in an open bright area.

教堂的外部是一个浅灰色的石头，在圣所的墙壁上有一个穿孔的金属屏障。这允许日光在没有太热或盲目的崇拜者在里面。晚上，蓝色的LED灯照亮了门面，使祈祷之家成为这个农村社区真正的灯塔。

The exterior of the church is finished in a light gray stone with a perforated metal screen against the wall of the sanctuary. This allows daylight in without it being too hot or blinding to the worshippers inside. At night, blue LED lights illuminate the façade, making the House of Prayer a true beacon in this rural community.
