Because of our vast experience working with church-related space, we are often asked to create sacred spaces for worship and reflection in other facilties.

PROJECT TURNABOUT | CHAPEL OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD | SOUTHWESTERN MN SYNOD

The sprititual center is a part of the design of the Project Turnabout facility.

THE SHARED VISION: To provide an area for reflection which expresses the spiritual element of the twelve-step treatment program without replicating symbols or forms that evoke a particular religion.

THE INNOVATIVE DESIGN: In the Spiritual Center, stained glass portals in the peak of each face allow light to travel through the space as the sun travels across the sky during the day. It simultaneously reminds the visitor of nature’s constant change and reliable patterns.The Spiritual Center is a perfect square whose walls face the cardinal directions.The flooring tile matches the building grid. As one steps into the tile circle the grid changes to follow the cardinal directions. The stained glass is an artistic element, but also performs a practical function. A combination of stained and clear glass obscures occupants, but places them within nature.
