A glass sanctuary on the top floor becomes the new steeple of a modern church, above 115 senior affordable homes.
The Union Baptist Church congregation wanted a church that could serve the community and give them a new, modern aesthetic. Placing the sanctuary on the top floor allows it to be both seen and felt in the neighborhood: the glass box housing the church becomes the new steeple.
The senior housing provides resources and concierge services that allow for independent living with ease. The 115 units comprise 71 studios, 31 one-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom apartments.
