This project adds restrooms, meeting space, a “bride’s room”, and a gift shop to the grounds of a historic church. Two alternate approaches were explored: The first uses forms that provide “sympathetic contrast” with the church, and the second uses historic forms.This image shows the contrasting scheme. It is designed to create a wall and a gate, separating the parking area from the church itself. Wood shingles are used to contrast with, and emphasize, the mass of the brick church.
