StudioAmmons worked with the leadership and congregation of Morning Star Baptist Church to develop plans for the construction of a brand new church on the site of their current concrete block church.  Our approach was to develop the facility using construction techniques that could be used by the local Youth Build and Americorps programs to learn about green building approaches.  Built in an historic neighborhood, the church's design utilizes traditional forms and massing to become a transition between the neighborhood's residential scale and the new development along its edge.
