Courtroom Restoration Mock-ups

 Progress is underway on the creation of a full-scale mock-up of the proposed decorative finishes concept for the interior restoration of the Historic West Courtroom in the Licking County Courthouse.  Our Design Team studied options for the illumination of the interior dome including on-site mockups with a variety of proposed lighting fixtures.

New Garden Room and Kitchen Too!

While the exterior landscaping installation will wait until spring, the new Garden Room offers this family a relaxing, light-filled, indoor green space. RKA transformed a cramped existing Kitchen and a small, adjacent Dining space into a generous renovated Kitchen with plenty of room for gathering.

Peace Lutheran Church Design Charrette

 RKA conducted an interactive design workshop (Design Charrette), with approximately 70 participants at Peace Lutheran Church in Gahanna, Ohio.  Gathered in Peace Lutheran Church’s contemporary worship space, the Charrette Participants explored various concepts for future improvements to their facilities.  Ten Charrette Teams arranged color coded paper “Program Pieces” representing the future architectural space requirements on scaled drawings of the floor plans of the existing building and the site plan.  The drawings were digitally documented and projected on the wall so that each Charrette Team could present their proposed design ideas to the whole group.  RKA will evaluate and refine these ideas as we begin the Master Planning process for future additions and renovations for Peace Lutheran Church.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Memorial Park

RKA has created the Conceptual Design for a new Memorial Park in the front yard at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Upper Arlington, Ohio.  The Memorial Park features a series of outdoor sacred places along a meandering path that winds past three (representing “Trinity”) elliptical Memorial Gardens.   The path ends at a new spiritual sculpture beside a new Memorial Lawn adjacent to the rose window of the original Sanctuary.  Curvilinear planting beds and low stone columbarium walls embrace a renovated plaza near the apse of the new Sanctuary, providing a place for interment ceremonies and quiet reflection. The scale of the new landscaping around these spaces provides a sense of enclosure and privacy in these transformed spiritual spaces.
