Places of worship and whole church campuses are very involved projects. Like a school, there are many different types of occupants and activities that can take place as part of a church, including classrooms and childcare. Master planning is also a specialty of ours, as well as meeting with many different user groups.

Smyrna United Methodist
Moncks Corner, SC

Smyrna United Methodist Church was in need of a new front entrance and facade. A larger covered entry would provide several things for the congregation; additional space to greet each other before and after service, enlarged cover from rain, and more space to exit, with the wrap around stair that uses gradual stairs in lieu of an existing immediate drop off. In addition to providing the new portico, they also wished to expose a stained glass window above the original wood doors that had long since been covered by the old entry roof structure. Exposed rafter tails, curved concrete stairs, and new railings were all part of the design details that made the small project come alive.
Grace Lutheran
Summerville, SC

Red Iron Architects provided a master plan of the existing site of Grace Lutheran campus to consider a new sanctuary and school to provide for the future growth of their congregation. This plan considered the growth over a number of years and was phased to incorporate new buildings while maintaining occupancy in their existing buildings. In addition to the new buildings, a green space for a school playground, a memorial garden with a columbarium, and parking for faculty, staff, and congregation were considered.
