We believe architecture is more than form—it’s a vessel for soul, story, and shared experience. Our recent project with Sts. Peter & George Coptic Orthodox Church in Westlake, OH exemplifies this ethos.

Phase I of their new campus was designed to nurture youth, foster connection, and support spiritual growth. The program included:

Classrooms: Spaces that Teach, Inspire, and Belong.

Eight sunlit classrooms now welcome students each week, each equipped with:

• Large windows for natural light and openness
• Generous storage closets for supplies and seasonal materials
• Wall-mounted smart TVs to support interactive learning
• Comfortable seating arranged for both teaching and dialogue

These rooms aren’t just places to learn—they’re spaces where young minds are invited to wonder, question, and grow.

A Gym That Builds More Than Strength

The new gymnasium is high school regulation size and designed to host basketball, soccer, volleyball, and pickleball. It features:

• Bleachers for cheering families and friends
• Locker rooms for teams and youth groups
• Integrated audio/video systems and scoreboards for events and tournaments

This isn’t just a sports facility, it’s a place where discipline meets joy, and where community is built one game at a time.

A Lobby for Play, Pause, and Presence

The youth lobby is a casual, welcoming space designed for downtime and connection. Here, kids can:

• Play ping pong or foosball
• Lounge and relax between activities
• Build friendships in a space that feels like their own

This project reflects the church’s deep commitment to its youth—and our shared belief that architecture can be a ministry of care. Phase I is just the beginning, and we’re honored to help shape a campus where faith, fun, and fellowship thrive.
