From the 2025 Educational Interiors Showcase: St. Joseph's Chapel
Key Highlights
- The project restored architectural features in marble, wood, and brass to preserve historic integrity.
- Dramatic floodlights highlight stained glass at night to create a striking visual display.
The renovation of St. Joseph’s Chapel at St. Joseph's Academy in St. Louis, Missouri, transformed an unconditioned and dimly lighted space into a comfortable and elevated worship experience. The chapel’s architectural features in marble, wood and brass were cleaned and restored. The stained glass was repaired and plated for protection and improved thermal control. New, dramatic flood lights illuminate the large, stained-glass windows for prominent display at night. New pendant lights impart visual interest and enhance spatial awareness. Unused confessional booths were converted into discreet storage.
