Long Hollow Baptist Church

⬤ 01. Challenge

As one of America's fastest-growing churches, Long Hollow Baptist Church desired to create engaging community space, overhaul wayfinding, and improve its pedestrian flow for Sunday services and mid-week community placemaking. The challenge was to develop a comprehensive and straightforward wayfinding plan that unified the architectural and environmental design landscape.

Branded as "Legacy Park," this exterior space is open to the public and designed to accommodate large events and gatherings. Legacy Park is anchored by Legacy Coffee, housed in the original sanctuary building from the 1970s. The coffee shop opens to the park through a covered porch, which also acts as a covered walkway for pedestrian traffic in inclement weather, and a shaded porch for parents to watch their children play in a new courtyard.

The covered porch also serves as a second-level balcony, providing space for small groups to meet and host events. New entry portals were added to enhance the wayfinding experience. At the center of Legacy Park is a Remembrance Tower crafted with three common materials designed to represent the Trinity. The tower's stone foundation symbolizes the stones of remembrance in the Bible. This remarkable structure is intended as a place to sit and reflect on the past but also look toward the future.
