The challenge for site planning for St. Stephen was to fit extensive interior and exterior program requirements onto a 14 acre site. A portion of the site was not buildable due to the presence of wetlands. The site was also adjacent to a major interstate freeway, further restricting the placement of building components.
The building design has a contemporary architectural language that keeps with the suburban setting, while still recalling the form, materials, and details of the Parish’s existing historic church.

This 24,500 SF project includes a worship space to seat 850, reservation chapel, gathering, meeting rooms, offices and a fellowship hall.

The project at St. Matthias Episcopal Church included the renovation and remodel of 3,000 square feet (most of the existing church).

The solution for this project was to design a glass faced space that both feels open and welcoming while also creating distinct zones that are comfortable at the human scale.
