B'nai Jehudah Master Plan

Rogers Krajnak Architects, Inc. has created a Master Plan to renovate and expand the existing 64,000 sq. ft. Learning Center.  By expanding the Chapel and Social Hall, and creating a new centralized Gathering Hall that will display a significant collection of Antique Judaica, this seventeen-year-old education facility is being transformed into a full-service synagogue.  The project includes the creation of a Community Commons, Prayer Spaces, additional Office areas and a Library. 

St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Richmond, VA

Rogers Krajnak Architects prepared a master plan for the renovation of the historic Sanctuary and Chapel at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. The purpose of the renovation is to create a worship space that will welcome and enhance the way the congregation worships in the 21st century while remaining true to the historic legacies at St Paul's which was originally constructed in 1843-1845.

RKA designed the expanded Chancel to accommodate a new wood altar, reconfigured brass pulpit, existing stone baptismal font, existing marble high altar and mosaic reredos, a new healing station and a new votive candle stand.  The new healing station will be created with wood columns from the existing pulpit and will be wrapped with a new marble ramp providing accessibility to the Chancel.  The Gallery will be expanded to provide greater flexibility in accommodating the choir and musicians.  The renovations of the Chapel will include the removal of existing columns and floor level changes, installation of a new floor and coffered ceiling and new liturgical furnishings to create a flexible space for smaller gatherings.

Master Plan for intriguing home in Worthington

Rogers Krajnak Architects has been commissioned to provide Master Planning services for a special residential project in Worthington. The home, built in 1967, is an interesting stylistic blur of shingle style and modernism.  Our Clients were captivated at first sight by the home’s unique architecture and dramatic hillside, natural setting. The home has an amazing connection to its beautiful wooded site through the use of large expanses of glass, an open plan, and a variety of exterior spaces around the perimeter of the home.  RKA was selected for the project due to the Clients desire that future changes blend with the original architecture and their confidence in RKA’s experience with similar projects. The RKA process will include;  a detailed analysis of the existing conditions and original design, defining maintenance and repair issues, discussing the Client’s goals for changes to the home and their lifestyle, and the creation of a Master Plan which allows a phased project implementation over time.
