Program
After the completion of the new family center and classrooms, the Christian Church of Casa Grande began their next phase,
remodeling their worship center facility. One of the most important challenges was to give the building the appearance of
being a new building from the inside without over-budgeting. Changes on wall, floor, ceilings and furniture were necessary
to create the new ambiance. Light, as well as sound control, were also a challenge, since the building's existing architecture
was not planned for both. Color played an important role on this ambient light control, as well as exterior control devices
over existing windows and the two large stained glass elements that were producing glare over the stage.
The remodeled building provided the community with new childcare areas divided into toddlers and nursery age groups, a new area for
registering, community service, and new remodeled toilet facilities with a more inviting residential look.
