Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Seattle, WA, recently underwent a significant exterior renovation to enhance its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. This project, led by Olson Kundig Architects, focuses on the use of high-performance siding solutions to create a visually striking and durable exterior.
Olson Kundig Architects aimed to modernize the church’s exterior while maintaining its historical and community significance. The design blends contemporary elements with traditional architectural features to create a harmonious balance that respects the church’s legacy. As a key civic and community structure, the renovation of Gethsemane Lutheran Church not only improves the building’s appearance but also reinforces its role as a welcoming and resilient community hub.
A crucial element of the renovation is the use of AEP Span’s Prestige Series® metal panels for the exterior siding. These panels offer several benefits that align with the project’s goals of sustainability, durability, and visual appeal. Prestige Series® panels are known for their exceptional durability, providing long-lasting protection against the elements. The panels require minimal maintenance, which ensures that the church’s exterior remains in excellent condition over time.
The metal panels contribute to the building’s energy efficiency by providing superior reflective properties. This helps to regulate the interior temperature and ultimately lowering energy costs. The sleek, modern appearance of the Prestige Series® panels adds a contemporary touch to the church’s exterior. Available in various finishes, the Dark Bronze color used in this project enhances the building’s visual impact while blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
The renovation of Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Seattle, WA, showcases the effective use of AEP Span’s Prestige Series® metal panels to achieve a balance of durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. This project not only revitalizes a key community structure but also sets a standard for future architectural renovations in the civic and community sector.
