LOS ALTOS CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Albuquerque, New Mexico

We worked with the church group in two  distinct phases.

Phase 1: A study of existing facilities and the needs of the church going forward.  This included numerous sessions with the pastor, and included congregants.

Phase 2: The design and construction of a new sanctuary:  Design included multiple forms reviewed and discussed again with interested church members leading the discussion.  Seating is arranged so congregants can see one another as an extended family.  Music is an integral part of the services: we paid special attention to acoustics, and developing a scheme without parallel planes to increase clarity and reduce reverberation.  The cross is not an object but instead is glass – pure light.
