Objective
To increase natural light quality and availability inside the office space for employees.
Background
The stewardship congregation was looking for a permanent home to worship. Once the building was in design there was an epiphany to emphasize a cross in a different way. .
Solution
Implementation of the cross in the Kalwall Tuckerman grid pattern on the front of the building allowed the design to be unique. The ground level flood lights create an illuminant beacon during the night.
Result
Night time lighting permitted the façade to fit perfectly with the incorporated cross. The congregation received a one of a kind entrance with Kalwall being the main focus point.
