Elmbrook Church Interior Remodel

Elmbrook Church is a non-denominational congregation with years of growth and multiple campus additions.  These various additions fit the growing needs of the congregation at the time but created a sprawling effect today which makes the campus challenging to navigate especially for new visitors.  The goal of this interior alteration is to create various navigation elements and gathering centers throughout the church campus to improve campus navigation.  These centers will have a wide range of functions; such as information kiosks, after service socializing spaces, new visitor areas and a children check-in zone.

This is a sneak peek of the proposed designs for various areas throughout the campus.

Second Story Addition

Construction Update:  The goal for the Panno Residence was to take their prairie style home and add a second floor to it.  As of last week the second floor was framed and it has emerged out of the single story residence.   Most notable the proportions are coming together which help to modernize the home while continuing to complement the existing structure.
