GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH

CARROLLTON, TEXAS | 8,000 SQFT | COMPLETED IN 1988

AIA DALLAS MERIT AWARD 1990

“Despite severe budget constraints - construction totaled $65 per square foot - Cunningham Architects managed to infuse a no-nonsense design with a poetic spirit sympathetic to the work of Louis Kahn, recalling the late architect’s material directness, volumetric simplicity, and servant/served relationships.” 

-Architectural Record 6-89

“The church uses simple, common materials in a direct and rational building.  The clarity of the plan and building mass, materials, and crafted details provide a discrete sanctuary for the celebration of the liturgical program.”
