View from the north showing the interactions of the various rooflines, and how the buildings interact with the site. The floor of the classroom, right, is 1 foot lower than the floor of the office.
View of the east side showing all four buildings, as well as the entryway. I flared the columns at the top to visually balance the angle of the roof. This form will be reflected in the columns that support the chapel roof.
The entry to the courtyard from which the office and classroom are reached. The side chapel is visible in the background.
The approach from the street to the chapel entry.
Detail showing how the corner of the lobby cuts into the site. There will be stairs down onto a patio outside the entrance.
View of how the chapel might appear to a driver on the road. The profiles of the main roof and the office roof on the right are similar, although their actual forms are quite different.
A view of the chapel from the future parking lot across the street. I added clerestory windows to give the walls a sense of lightness and bring more light into the chapel. The roof will be supported by a series of columns, which will add a sense of rhythm and order to the oddly-shaped space.
An aerial view showing the overall layout of the site.
View from the northeast showing the office, classroom, and side chapel.
For the classroom design, I wanted to create something that reflected the traditional conception of a schoolhouse, but also reflected the design of the rest of the complex. The valley-folded roof is a variation on the theme of the main chapel roof and the more complicated office roof. The overall effect is supposed to make the classroom look inviting, interesting, and playful.
An aerial view of the courtyard, showing the interaction between the side chapel, classroom, and office buildings. Note the similar material for the atrium of the main chapel and the exterior of the side chapel, meant to visually connect the two forms.
From this angle, the slope of the main chapel roof and the cascade of subordinate forms on the left create an almost pyramidal profile.
What the chapel might look like from out at sea. The chapel roof complements the opposite slope of the land behind it. With a tree planted in the atrium, the overall form would resemble the bow of a ship with a mast.
