View from inside the Family Room with low wall and windows with a view
into the sanctuary
Looking from the side of the stage/ platform – note ADA ramp located along side of the stage
Inside of sanctuary: Floors will be stained and polished concrete. Formed beams and ceilings. Sanctuary will have microphones throughout the space with centralized control (no A/V control booth). Cost estimated at $150k. High up windows with statues in recessed spaces below each. More of an interior space (no view to the outside). In contrast, see the chapel photos.
Looking at the back wall of the sanctuary - wooden beam about 100 feet long and two feet deep. There is also recessed lighting from windows behind the beam.
Stone tiles to be installed from floor to ceiling on the wall behind the stage. It is very striking and tiles have a warm feeling.
Looking into the chapel (seats 80).
Chapel ceiling (wood beams)
Large windows (that can be partially opened) are installed on both sides of the chapel. Lots of views to the outside landscaping to come.
