This
new church building is designed to seat 450 parishioners and
houses a large, new, concert pipe organ by C.B. Fisk, Inc. (Opus
126) which is also
designed to be used in conjunction with the School of Music of
the nearby university. The building’s design fits in with
its residential surroundings and the smaller existing church,
which is to become a chapel, and provides a dramatic view from
downtown Greenville.
We
served as the Design Architect for the project as well as the
Liturgical Designer for this new facility. The exterior is matching brick, and
the interior features slate floors in the Nave and Side Aisles
and slate and marble in the Chancel. Exposed trusses and
clerestory windows enhance the vertical feel of the interior.
Custom-built gothic furnishings in quarter-sawn white oak
complete the Chancel. The font is a relocated historic piece
with an enlarged basin in marble mosaic.
The
project was featured on the cover of The American Organist
Magazine in the July 2006 issue.
