Temple Sinai
This projects brings a fresh approach to symbolism in architecture. What makes a building a religious facility? More specifically, what makes a structure Jewish? We set out to generate a building that not only fulfilled our client's programmatic and spiritual needs, but to also make it recognizable as a home for Judaism. With this in mind, we approached the design by taking traditional symbols of Judaism and blending them into the creation of form and space.
Situated on about 9 acres of forested land, the Temple houses a classroom wing, administrative offices, a social hall, a chapel and a sanctuary. The client desired an environment where all the functions could commingle. To make it happen, we designed the central courtyard as the axle from which all program functions radiate. Every space can be accessed through this contained exterior space, allowing the students to interact with people on their way to attend service or a function at the social hall.
