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.

Shepherd of the Hills is partnered with GROTH Design Group to develop an expansion of a new worship space to connect to their existing building campus.

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.

Nativity of Our Lord parish had two worship and school locations. The parish is moving toward one location on the downtown worship site.
