Saint James United Methodist Church, Kingston, NY – Case Study

by Alfandre Architecture

About the project...

In the interest in replacing their original, inaccessible ramp, we designed a new ramp and stair for the St. James United Methodist Church.

The original stair and ramp for the church.

In order to add a new ramp and stair, we had to study the existing area and church in order to understand what was feasible and what the best location would be for both.

A preliminary 3D model with an elongated ramp. We use 3D modeling to help us and our clients understand the space better.

We then designed a ramp that was handicap accessible and a more welcoming stair.

Creating a sense of place that is not only functional but also beautiful is always the goal for Alfandre Architecture.

Throughout this project, we were not only able to make the church more accessible for everyone, but we also helped to create a sense of place outside the church.
