Heartland Community Church | AODK :: Architecture Office :: David Krebs

The project is a new church facility on a partially wooded 35 acre site. The project includes a 500 seat auditorium style worship center, youth center with 100 seat performance space and caf� lounge area, 4000 S.F. gallery space, caf�, child and adult class rooms and office space. The site work includes soccer and baseball field areas, an amphitheater and necessary parking. The goal is to provide a new home for a church that is currently worshipping in a high School. The church is intended to be open and welcoming to people searching for a new safe place to worship and grow in faith by creating a non-traditional church environment. The floor plan places the caf� at the main entry to the building and large windows allow views into the caf� from the parking area. The worship center, class rooms, offices and youth areas are organized around a central circulation path passing though the main entry and by the caf�. The interior and exterior image and finish materials are designed to create a welcoming feeling consistent with hospitality spaces.
