Holy Trinity Church Proposed Addition and Renovations

Proposed Addition and Renovations

The original church is too small for its growing congregation and an addition was required to meet present and future needs.

The original building uses a centre axis sanctuary and therefore if made longer, (although the simplest solution), the altar would be placed too far from that back of the congregation.  Additionally, the existing building has a large open glass area at each end that posed glare problems.  Mr. Ellis' solution was to provide a new addition at the side of the existing building and rearrange the pews and alter at ninety degrees from the original plan.  This affords a closer relationship between the congregation and the altar and allowed us to solve the glare issues associated with the existing configuration.
