But when it was proposed to bring the bump out all the way above the circular window I liked the idea as light will still filter down the wall and it will make the chapel feel larger and actually result in a real mini "sanctuary". But I agree the indirect light was a good idea.Brendan Koophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265819790636987237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257516927675289859.post-64748917355713678092008-11-18T13:01:00.000-06:002008-11-18T13:01:00.000-06:00Looks great!

I had really liked that idea before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257516927675289859.post-10811506674060635782008-11-16T20:47:00.000-06:002008-11-16T20:47:00.000-06:00Sorry, I've been out all last week in Switzerland ...Sorry, I've been out all last week in Switzerland (of all places) on a business trip, just saw these latest comments.

Geissler Inc. make beautiful and comfortable chapel chairs with plain or rush seats, with or without kneelers and book racks. In this way you could arrange the seating any way you wish such as facing the altar or facing each other as in a monastery choir for chanting the Hours. I use antique English chairs and find this works wonderfully for any type of service we desireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257516927675289859.post-46314190711872139902008-11-09T10:06:00.000-06:002008-11-09T10:06:00.000-06:00I've always liked churches with a center aisle, on...I've always liked churches with a center aisle, one enters and approaches the altar with the proper focus, even genuflecting before the Blessed Sacrament. In this case though, I agree it may be a decision best made on location, to make best use of the more limited space of the home chapel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696098634780614485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257516927675289859.post-83739090666400309672008-11-08T17:42:00.000-06:002008-11-08T17:42:00.000-06:00Good question, my brother has always shown the pew...Good question, my brother has always shown the pews centered in the chapel (and you would walk around on either side), but I can't decide if I like that or if it would be better to have smaller pews or seats that are flush with the side walls (with a center aisle). It's one of those things that we'll have to see when it's built.Brendan Koophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265819790636987237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257516927675289859.post-63664187538161592802008-11-08T17:00:00.000-06:002008-11-08T17:00:00.000-06:00Inspired!

The windows could even have stained glass added later, if one was so inclined.<BR/><BR/>I am curious as to how seating (pews?) will actually be placed within the chapel, as the interior seems narrow, although in a desirable way, emphasizing its height.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
