Westchester Reform Temple
Our design for the 12,000SF Sanctuary and 14,000sf Religious School and Study Center for Westchester Reform Temple established a West to East axis of increasing privacy and spirituality: from campus and world to community and social hall, to sanctuary and worship, to a spiritual garden and contemplation.

Seven cedar and plaster bands of varying dimensions are broken by daylight: representing our world’s finished and unfinished efforts.

The memorial garden, lined with bronze yarzheit screens, is centered in the new lobby, connecting existing and new buildings, the past and present, external and internal light.
