First United Methodist Church Project Sheet

FIRST UNITED METHODIST Austin, Texas How do you make an annex building feel like it belongs with the main campus structures located across a busy street a block away? The Schmidt- Jones Family Life Center has details and proportions based on the classical revival style of the main Sanctuary. The corner is peeled away to open up the building and create a dramatic modern entryway, and a glass serpentine wall hugs the sweeping curve of a free standing concrete stair.The interior offers a panoramic view of both the main Sanctuary and the state Capitol.
