Project
Bethelite Institutional Baptist Church
Brooklyn / USA
Description

This Church in the East New York section of Brooklyn was built on the partial foundations of the original storefront church. The sanctuary space is generated by the extruded stepped brick facade and whose pinnacle is crowned by a glass block cross.

The 250-seat sanctuary is lit by stepped clerestory windows and gives prominence in its plan configuration to the role of the pulpit and music in the practice of the Black Baptist faith.
