Trinity Episcopal Church

Located in the heart of downtown Asheville, Trinity Episcopal Church has served a pivotal role in the community for over one hundred years. Sitework Studios was commissioned to create designs for a timeless, welcoming garden courtyard and an expansive primary stairway that reflected and strengthened the value of this historic church. Additionally, the space required complete accessibility and needed to serve as a multi-use area.

A unique part of the project was our collaboration with renowned metal artist Lynda Metcalf to create a monumental, hand-forged iron entrance gate and custom light fixtures.  Combined with the use of bluestone paving and granite curb, these improvements seamlessly blend with the church’s historic and awe-inspiring architecture.  Beneath the façades of landscape and architecture, desperately-needed and carefully-engineered stormwater infrastructure has resolved previous drainage issues.

Over the course of the project, our work stemmed from schematic design to construction documents, and finally to construction observation.
