- Perched along a Texas hillside, the intimate and reverent chapel protects and respects its place in humble form
- Quarry-cut limestone blocks provide foundation and enclosure with a delicate steel frame bearing on the stone and supporting the roof above
- 12-foot cantilevers reach out through the walls, finishing in a thin edge floating above the framed stained glass
- A bell tower signals the arrival court with its grass and stone pavers, and a water-collection font adds sound and reflection
- Restrooms and a bridal dressing room frame the entry court on its east edge
- Sustainable materials fill the chapel while sustainable systems operate quietly in the floor plenum space created between the earth and foundation
- Veiled natural light fills the space during the day, while solar collectors provide the energy for softly lighting it at night
- Rainwater collection irrigates the surrounding landscape and supports the water going to the facilities
