OUR MOTHER OF CONFIDENCE

San Diego, CA

WHEN

2008

The project consisted of a complete interior renovation. When entering, one’s eyes are carried upward toward contemporary “clouds” suspended from the ceiling. The clouds are solid visually but appear to float. They contribute to the spiritual nature of the space and also hide infrastructure necessary to light the interior, as was directed by the client. They also help to form a space with exceptional acoustic quality. The nave is a large, open and airy space that is warmed with lighting and the reflection from beautiful stained glass windows. The use of different materials, including wood and stone, create an environment that is grand, yet welcoming – traditional and filled with the rituals of the church with contemporary details that will appeal to people of all ages.
