Mount Moriah Residences
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
A private developer selected SAS to execute a design study to combine an
existing church, built by the Rockefeller family, with 20 new luxury
condominiums. Rather than demolishing the existing church structure, as
originally proposed, our scheme retained the church as the basis for a
fresh design approach.
Rather than undermining the elegant confidence of the original stone
façade with a contemporary addition, or simply disappearing behind it,
we proposed that the new building appear to “frame” the old building,
giving it both a dedicated sense of belonging and a direct relationship
with our new addition. The new addition- its exterior rendered in
patterned precast white concrete panels and fritted glass- houses twenty
residences divided over two mid-rise buildings separated by a generous
and tall landscaped courtyard. The apartments, arranged to be broad,
light-filled villas, offer generous yet economical layouts that simplify
construction and enhance usefulness for residents. The open layouts
suggest a contemporary way of living, and discretely tucking them behind
the traditional church façade lends a sense of privacy and exclusivity
to the new building.
