Located along one of the busiest east-west thoroughfares through the city, this project combines two unexpected programs: a private law practice and a chapel. With an affinity for modernist works by Kahn, Breuer, and Corbusier, the client — an ordained minister and attorney-at-law — desired a place that is both welcoming and mysterious. Its corner site mediates between two realms: the fast-paced commercial district and the quiet neighborhood. Avoiding the typical suburban approach, the modest program is organized to strengthen the street edge, place parking in the back, and preserve existing old-growth trees.
