This modern church design for a Seventh Day Adventist congregation in California utilizes a highly expressed tilt up concrete panel system as both the structure, and to define the character of the building. The panels vary in orientation, height and spacing to create windows, protect from sun, define space, and create interest and experience. The honest use of a warm toned integrally colored precast concrete system allows for a high degree of materiality adding texture and gravity to the building. The building is designed to perch on a hill like a rocky outcropping, cascading down the sloping site, shattered and random, taking inspiration from the rocky forms of nature. Project completed while working as a Project Designer at Myhre Group Architects with Architect of Record Ray Yancey.
