The church campus is highlighted by the noble sanctuary building, the fourth iteration to occupy the site and completed in 1892. It is an excellent example of the Richardson Romanesque style, characterized by its massing, ribbons of windows and openings, short tower and large arched entry. Directly adjacent stands the neo-classical education and fellowship building, Lance Hall, that was constructed in 1851. The surrounding churchyard is the oldest burial ground in the city with earliest known graves from the late 17th century. Over the years Studio A has done several projects for the church, including renovations to all the buildings following 1990’s Hurricane Hugo. A later project included a discrete handicapped access ramp serving the sanctuary building. The most recent work is the classroom addition to Lance Hall, in collaboration with Frank Harmon Architects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537e2025e4b0ef07d0692d12/1401212894763-DHY0NLCTPO8LYX45SQ07/front+axis+copy.jpg Projects Photos©Richard Leo Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537e2025e4b0ef07d0692d12/1400785577983-J4S06H6KKBRMH3B7G98P/pharm+tif44.jpg Projects - MUSC School of Pharmacy Photos©Richard Leo Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537e2025e4b0ef07d0692d12/1401217174387-XZP8OLSJHA6I47KPF4CM/Race+St+eve.jpg Projects Photos©Dickson Dunlap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537e2025e4b0ef07d0692d12/1400783624411-SPM6IMDJMFSCNC4M7MJA/Radcliff+Manor+-+sm+Collage_clean.jpg Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/537e2025e4b0ef07d0692d12/1400778686875-UNYPQONKACIRLA9KTVHX/Recyclling+Dock.jpg Projects - Allegheny Plastics Pittsburgh, PA Our architectural solution was grounded in this project’s practical considerations and design opportunities presented by the site and context, such as the integrity of the structural systems and building materials as well as the functionality and expressiveness of the environmental interventions. As part of the company’s commitment to best sustainable practices, the design includes a grid of light-capturing skylights allowing the facility to operate without artificial lights for much of the day. The reintroduction of the area’s historical cranberry bog ecology is integral to the site’s stormwater management system through native vegetation and respectful use of the areas natural resources and geology.

The facade is arranged with a signage element marking the vertical court where one accesses the upper floors. The brick facade scrim hovers at the second floor, functioning as a mask with an eye at the office. A terrace at the top overlooks King Street and includes a roof extension that is a “cornice” corresponding with the adjacent three-story buildings. Structural elements are articulated and transparent surfaces offer glimpses to the interior events.
