CREATING A PLACE FOR SHARED MEALS AND CONNECTION AT ST. JUDE'S

St. Jude’s Catholic Church expanded its parish center with a new community hall for 300 people and a full kitchen to serve gatherings like fish fries and festivals. The design creates a warm, light-filled room opening to the campus lawn. The kitchen is positioned for smooth flow, while storage and restrooms are tucked discreetly away to support function without disruption.

UNITING A COMMUNITY WITH RECREATION AT THE WELLNESS CENTER OF LONE TREE

A joint community–school partnership created a new fitness hub for neighbors to gather and stay active. The two-story facility includes a basketball court, running track, yoga studio, fitness terraces, and community room. Durable concrete and steel construction with translucent and clear façade openings bring in daylight and showcase activity within, connecting the building to its surroundings.

RIVERSIDE THEATRE RELOCATION AND TRANSFORMATION INTO VIBRANT DESTINATION

Riverside Theatre relocated to a central downtown site, transforming a three-story building into a flexible performance venue. The renovation created a new theater, foyer, concessions, dressing rooms, and workshop. The 1950s façade was preserved, while the interior exposes original brick and refinished wood floors, giving the space an authentic, crafted character.

ORLOJ TOWER: BEACON OF CZECH HERITAGE FOR THE NATIONAL CZECH AND SLOVAK MUSEUM AND LIBRARY

The National Czech & Slovak Museum and Library restored its deteriorating clocktower, honoring the neighborhood’s Czech heritage. Salvaged handmade brick and crafted detailing recall local historic architecture. A Czech-made astronomical clock and figurines from Prague now animate the tower hourly, reestablishing the landmark as both a cultural and mechanical centerpiece of the community.

DOORS OPEN WIDER AT HISTORIC ST. PAUL'S

Historic St. Paul’s Church, originally designed by Louis Sullivan, sought to clarify its entry sequence and strengthen its sense of community. A new glass foyer was inserted between the original sanctuary and its 1980s addition, creating a distinct and welcoming front door. Inside, a spacious narthex provides a place for gathering and fellowship, recalling materials and details from the original structure. The addition brings light, transparency, and renewed unity to this beloved historic church.
