We are a group of architects and engineers working collaboratively to make a positive impact on the built environment.  From our large light filled studio, we focus our energy on diverse projects, working together to create spaces that will inspire and hold meaning for our clients and the collective community.  Regardless of project type or scale, we see every design as an opportunity to fulfill client goals and fuel our passion for architecture.

ELIM PENTECOSTAL CHURCH

The three-story Church will address the current needs of a growing congregation and community. The Church’s goals were to create a new symbol for their community. Its dynamic contemporary aesthetic acts as an attractive symbol of the congregation’s strong spirit and traditions.  

 

 

PROGRAM

Located on Chicago’s north side, the congregation will receive a

50,000 sq. ft., 1200-seat sanctuary and 450-seat banquet hall, allowing flexibility for future additions to the congregation. A robust program for any religious institution, the new space will include parking with 140 stalls, 14 classrooms, a commercial kitchen, bookstore, TV/radio recording studio, charity foundation, and administration offices, as well as a guest residence for visiting scholars. Construction is currently underway.
