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.

Involved from concept through construction administration, GROTH Design Group has tied the new 30-person chapel into the architecture of the church.

The St. Leonard’s Parish project is primarily the addition of a new gathering area with support spaces to enhance fellowship for the parish.
