Clayton Valley Presbyterian Church Sanctuary
San Jose, CA

SIZE: 5,300 s.f.
DATE: 1995
COST: $900,000


This new sanctuary interprets the congregation's love of nature into a dynamic light-filled structure. The 5,300 sf building features vaulted ceilings, large skylights, and frames a stunning view of Mount Diablo from the nave.

The building incorporates narthex, nave, chancel, sacristy, changing room, and public restrooms, in a bold asymmetric plan. A tall steeple provides identity from a distance. Schematic plans have been accepted by the Congregation and approved by the City. Fundraising is underway.
