Project Info:
The design of Christ Our Redeemer uses dramatic curvilinear forms that recall shapes familiar to this waterfront community: sails, waves, and the seaside. The structure is expressed, not hidden, in a forceful manner, suggesting strength and resistance to storms and a “permanence” of the church. The new church seats about 750 people with a small prayer chapel directly behind the altar. Additional support spaces include a gathering narthex space, a sacristy, a bride’s room, and a choir.
