Shown above are in-progress photos of Infinity Chapel designed by hanrahan Meyers architects.  The chapel design evolved out of conversations between the Architects and the members of the Church:  Tenth Church of Christ, Scientist. 

The clients requested a minimalist chapel design that included dyanmic curves and that was in touch with Nature.  The final design for the Chapel reflects research by the Architects into hypercubes and other advanced mathematical forms.  The Chapel interior is a cube, deformed by light. 

hanrahan Meyers architects specialize in the design of public buildings that connect to light and to nature.  The Chapel's windows look out into a public meditation garden which will be the focal point of members sitting in the pews during sermons.  The garden is planned to have plantings including a background of Ilex and ivy, with Japanese Red Maples in the foreground.  The garden design is a collaboration between hanrahan Meyers architects and GRDN:  www.grdnbklyn.com.
