We consider each project on its own terms and develop tailored responses. Learn about our vision and mission.
Within the church, no room is completely bound by four walls. Each is at once complete unto itself and interwoven with the surrounding spaces through a carefully orchestrated, modular configuration. This interplay of connectivity and separation embodies principles of metabolic architecture, inviting members to wander the grounds, discovering sunken gardens and sanctuary spaces designed to foster both resiliency and spiritual reflection. In this way, the church creates moments of community and solitude, maintaining the regenerative health of both individuals and the collective through this spiritual and communal experience.
