Overview
The addition to Christ the Redeemer Roman Catholic Parish includes a sanctuary, offices, and flexible spaces. The building is carefully adapted to the existing site at the edge of the community, providing the parish with an inspiring context of the prairie landscape.
The sanctuary features columns of light through large vertical windows that link parishioners to the prairie setting. The addition utilized pre-engineered structural systems to minimize cost and is enveloped by a skin of ribbed metal panels and glass that reflect the prairie sky and glow with warmth at night. Although a modest structure, the sanctuary’s bold form, surface and symbols make it recognizable both day and night as a symbol of faith and pride.
