Ecclesiastical

St. Theresa of Avila Catholic Church

Project Size: 8,260 sq. ft.
Competed: February 2009

The rebirth of St. Theresa was necessary after a previous renovation stripped the church of its original character. Introduction of simplified grandeur cathedral elements were incorporated into this quaint community restoring the church to demonstrate its historical roots.

A complete interior renovation involving the replacement of all floors, pews, ceiling treatments and lighting was finalized.

Revitalization of the church’s design also permitted it to increase seating to over 500 for those attending worship and openly embraces this small district’s congregation of the future.
