April Lewis
April Lewis is renovating a section of Glenco Mills in Burlington, NC. She is focusing on restoration of the building and the professionals who come to the retreat. To preserve the building structure, April is incorporating fluorescent lighting on the walls. She is planning on putting 3-form on the wall with the lighting behind to resemble natural lighting. Another way of dealing with light is to put 3-form on a slide track in front of a window so that it can be moved aside when more light is needed. She is planning on refinishing the existing flooring and has the same flooring on the patio outside. The patio will work as a space for workshop and eating. Herman Miller chairs will be incorporate in the design. April’s concept is not solidified yet though she currently playing with the idea of ‘in and out’. This can be seen in her lighting, natural and fluorescent.
These images show how April is thinking of incorporating fluorescent lighting.

Little Billy goes into his Sunday school room and notices these tall arches that resemble the ribs of the Noah’s Ark. He runs to the base of the rib to look down through the glass reveal in the floor. He can see his big brother Tom in his Sunday school room and waves to him. Billy enjoys the connection with the older kids and Tom finds it humorous seeing the kids in the reveals. The cinderblock walls are now covered with Earthen plaster to give the area a warmer feeling and still keep texture on the walls.

As Lucy waits for her dad to pick her up from Children’s church she continually goes to the door to try and hear if he is coming. She has her hand pressed to the wall where a Fingershield door guard is attached at the hinge of the door. When her dad opens the door her hand is does not get caught because of this safety fastener.

As Amber watches the band she notices how the stage has different flooring than the rest of the room. Since Susan is in a wheelchair the stage can not be raised so the bamboo flooring is used to signify that it is the stage area

Luckily the youth band does not have to worry about how loud they are during their Wednesday night service. They are alone on the ground floor and they have Soundscape Acoustical Paneling from Armstrong hanging from the ceiling.
