PROJECT NARATIVE

CADENCE ARCHITECTURE WAS ENGAGED TO DESIGN A NEW 400-SEAT SANCTUARY ADDITION INCLUDING A REDEFINED ENTRY SEQUENCE, RESTROOM FACILITIES, AND AN AUDIO-VISUAL MEZZANINE. THROUGH CLOSE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE CONGREGATION, THE DESIGN TEAM IDENTIFIED FELLOWSHIP AS A CENTRAL COMPONENT OF THE COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE. IN RESPONSE, THE SANCTUARY WAS REORIENTED AND A LINEAR CIRCULATION SPINE INTRODUCED TO IMPROVE FLOW AND CONNECTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE SPACE. THIS STRATEGIC REALIGNMENT CREATED OPPORTUNITIES FOR AN ADJACENT OUTDOOR GATHERING AREA, EXTENDING FELLOWSHIP BEYOND THE INTERIOR AND REINFORCING THE SOCIAL HEART OF THE CAMPUS. THE PROJECT EXEMPLIFIES CADENCE ARCHITECTURE’S COMMITMENT TO THOUGHTFUL, INNOVATIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS THAT ADD MEANINGFUL VALUE THROUGH PROCESS
