St. Mary's Chapel

St Mary’s Chapel embodies quiet simplicity, rooted deeply in the Appalachian landscape. Its limestone and cedar shingle exterior ages gracefully, echoing the local vernacular. Inside, a white oak timber frame recalls the humble strength of old barns, crafted by Amish artisans whose work is embedded in regional heritage.

The structure invites light and air through hidden doors, allowing glimpses of the surrounding pines and valley, blending the chapel with nature. Every material and detail is chosen to resonate with the land’s story, creating a space that feels organic and inevitable. It embraces a gentle restraint, allowing each beam, shadow, and light to convey its purpose. It is not a structure intended to seek attention; it seeks harmony. St Mary’s Chapel is timeless, a place for quiet reflection and connection.
