St. Bartholomew’s Chapel was destroyed by a wildfire that ravaged

the Rincon Indian reservation in late 2007

Only the original adobe bell

tower and original Mission

bell survived, which wouldbecome the anchor

element in the redesign

planning

The needs of thecurrent

community

changed

significantly

over the past

100 years

The fire presented a“blank slate” opportunityto expand and update thefacility primarily bydoubling the seatingcapacity and adding astandalone multipurposesocial hall which createdand framed a third space;

an outdoor prayergarden. While respectingtraditional customs,emulating or recreatingthe past literally was nota project goal. Designelements in plan, section,and elevation wereconceived to reference

and infuse meaning intothe chapel.

The new design was

conceived to reverently

knit together “past”

and comfortable

traditions, whileacknowledging and

offering something

relevant to current and

future generations.

In an effort toreconnect with

traditional Indianculture of living“lighter” on theland, the client

specificallyrequested that

the projectthoughtfully

incorporate a fullcomplement of

green materials,efficient

technologies,and sustainable

strategies into

the redesign.

. Low tech passive features employed include; oversized roof overhangs, protectedglazing, few west facing openings, clerestory windows and skylights for natural

daylighting, and strategically placed operable windows to encourage cross

ventilation.

Some of the high techproducts include; a flush

mounted thin film PV

systems invisibly

incorporated into the

metal standing seam roof,

high efficiency mechanical

units, a computerizedlighting control panel, high

performance solar E

glazing, and Icynene self

expanding foam insulation

dramatically improved the

thermal comfort andenergy efficiency of the

project.

Native American as well

as Catholic/Christian

symbols and metaphors

were referenced in

every design element;

plan, section, and

elevation as a way to

infuse meaning into thechapel on several layers.

The Chapel utilizes a significant amount of

site harvested building materials; the

signature element being the massive

rammed earth walls that flank the

sanctuary, each nearly 60 feet long, 18 feet

tall, and 2 feet thick.

7/30/2019 eva pauline 2008420206


Symbolically important, these beautifully

textured and organic walls are literally

molded from 120 tons of sacred

reservation soil.

Other earthy materials such as the 3 ton

boulder that was crafted into the

baptismal font and the 5” thick slabs of

wood hewn from a Coastal Live Oak

physically connect this congregation to thebeauty of their natural surroundings, the

significance of their ancestral home, and

most importantly to the Spirit of their God

in a very tangible and palpable way.
