Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Epiphany

Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Epiphany
716 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY

The new Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Epiphany in the Crown Heights Neighborhood in Brooklyn was designed by Kossar + Garry Architects. The full-lot cellar hosts a multi-purpose room and the building utilities. The main house of worship room occupies a double-height space on the ground floor. There is a mezzanine level with a large opening above the worship room and study rooms and the second floor will host classrooms. There is a setback at the second floor with an outdoor rooftop garden in the setback area. The roof hosts a play area surrounded by a full height fence. 

The structural system consists of composite lightweight concrete on metal deck floors supported by steel beams and columns. The steel superstructure was designed to include a column-free space for the house of worship on the ground floor; the interior columns above were transferred on steel trusses below the second floor.
