The Anthony Chapel at the Garvan Woodland Gardens 
Maurice Jennings + David McKee Architects

Hot Springs, Arkansas
The chapel will provide a place for simple religious services, cultural events, and quiet meditation amidst the forested setting of the Garvan Woodland Gardens.  From the native stone base, the wood structure rises fifty-seven feet to form a canopy over the worship space not unlike the trees themselves.  The wood columns branch, forming a lattice of "limbs" overhead.  This "branching" is aligned on a diagonal with the opposing column, creating a structure reminiscent of English Gothic fan vaulting.  The glass infill in all exterior walls permits a transparency that allows the chapel to become one with its surroundings.
