The Kirk of the Hills

It has been a busy and exciting time at St. Louis Design Alliance.  Our work on the Sanctuary at the historic Kirk of the Hills in Creve Coeur, Missouri is complete and it looks great. 

In the entry foyer we replaced the worn out carpeting with a vinyl tile.  This flooring choice will not only be a functional and easy to maintain product to welcome the members as they come in from the elements, but the vinyl tile provides a perfect transition piece between the existing fellowship hall and the revamped sanctuary. 

The most noticeable difference in the Sanctuary is the new carpet.  Replacing the traditional “church red” carpeting with a blue helped to update the look of the Sanctuary without sacrificing the tradition of this historic church.   A fresh coat of paint helped to highlight the original woodwork and give the sanctuary a fresh face. 

Another large change was the re-configuration of the pews.  By taking out some of the pews in the middle of the sanctuary it helps to break up the long and narrow architecture and bring the congregation closer to the pastor speaking.  It also promotes fellowship before and after the service as people can visit without blocking the aisles. 

There are future plans for an extension of the stage to even better serve the ever-changing trends in worship.  We look forward to working with The Kirk of the Hills on that phase of their project as well
