Adoration Chapel*

Curé of Ars Catholic Church

9401 Mission Rd.

Leawood, KS

This project involved a 20 seat adoration nave, a raised marble plinth, an Italian marble pedestal for the monstrance, a separate entry foyer with curved casework, and an ADA compliant rest room. Other features include two custom designed art glass windows, extensive specialty lighting and an 8’ bronze crucifix and flagstone patio in a new meditation garden created in the void between buildings.

Key design goals included: matching the existing facility in exterior finish, separate accessible entry, an autonomous HVAC system, 24 hour/7 day a week access, and utilization of the existing stone wall as a backdrop for the pedestal.
