Our Lady of Guadalupe Church

Located within a solitary stand of mature trees in the middle of corn and soybean fields, this project addresses the ideas of ritual, tradition, religion, and community, and attempts to coerce a union between the worldly and the spiritual. The church building is clad in stained wood siding that blends with the natural colors of the trees. The administration building houses classrooms, a social and dining hall, reception, a resource library, a kitchen, receiving rooms, bathrooms, an elevator and stairs. Limestone, slates and other native stone materials pave the landscape courtyards.
