The goal of the design is to create a ‘chapel in the woods’ aesthetic using natural materials like wood and stone.

When completed it will host worship services, weddings, funerals, and small conference events.

It was a great privilege to celebrate the groundbreaking for the new Hasley Chapel at St. Andrew United Methodist Church yesterday. The weather was perfect for this special event honoring Reverend Robert Hasley.

The chapel was included as part of the original master plan GFF designed in 2016. It is the third phase of GFF’s work on the campus. The previous phases included a Sanctuary renovation as well as childrens, students, and missions additions.

Polished concrete flooring withstands very heavy foot traffic, repels stains, and provides a high-quality finished look. This product was used throughout the student gathering area and chapel to ensure continuity between spaces and durability.

We had the pleasure of working with Texas Bomanite and Hill & Wilkinson to install over 13,000 SF of polished concrete at Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS).

GFF Church Works Principal Stephen Pickard was recently featured in https://t.co/hpkbMsB4BI discussing the importance of hybrid design within the ongoing reality of the pandemic. The article also features examples of current projects trends for church spaces.

This makes buildings easier to cool ultimately resulting in cheaper energy bills and better energy efficiency. It’s a win-win!

We hope you can catch some relief from the hot summer sun this week as the temperatures climb. We design exterior canopies for many of our projects in Texas to beat the heat! These canopies and trellises provide shade which reduces the amount of heat that enters the building....
