Refreshing Springs COGIC
Location: Hamilton, Ohio
Client: Pastor Hezekiah Childs
Project:
Cornerstone church growing significantly needs to design and build an addition to serve mainly as sanctuary with support areas; then renovate remaining existing spaces to be more functionally efficient based on new program. New structure needed to be designed with new but extremely sensitive materials and finishes.
Details:
The new addition would reflect the exterior character of local materials while providing unique contemporary lines and a dynamic layering of volumes, natural and artificial light sources; with an at the sidewalk entrance sequence to provide a more celebrate welcome.
Internally the sanctuary exhibits a significant thematic design of refreshing springs with water elements cascading done with pieces of ceramic tile (many shades of blue) serving as the element of water. Interior finishes are to be precise cut and refined sophistication utilizing: wood paneling, trim pieces, drywall reveals, varying textures and surface treatments.
Spaces are to be highlighted with selective specialized light fixtures, which magnifies the dynamic combination of interior treatments. Floor to ceiling cast glass in combination with stain glass windows punctuate the aisles and reflect the movement of the masses throughout their use of space.
ADA compliance achieved in existing renovated spaces while combined with new rooms.
