Beautiful
The chapel doors open to a balanced expanse of lofty heights and solid stone. The 47-foot ceilings are adorned with a custom-designed Cambridge Architectural LandscapeInteriors mesh application, mimicking large, billowing sails. Cambridge's Grid metal fabric pattern, featuring rigid, open weaves, creates the LandscapeInteriors mesh application, which was painted then sanded to create a weathered maritime white. Custom-designed Frame attachment hardware seamlessly incorporates fabricated brackets for a smooth integrated stainless steel cable support system.
Inside the 410-seat chapel, mosaic tiling and a 45-foot-tall stone wall inspired by the Temple Mount's Western Wall are complemented by the openness of the woven metal. Both the tiling and stone wall are constructed of stone quarried in Jerusalem.
Functional
Aesthetically pleasing, the LandscapeInteriors metal fabric solution promotes airflow and ventilation throughout the Chapel while enhancing heating and air conditioning and providing a relatively open view. Additionally, the durable and corrosion-resistant stainless steel mesh application helps to control acoustics and enhance lighting effects.
Affordable
Cambridge Architecture's wall and ceiling mesh application also effectively reduces costs. The LandscapeInteriors solution is long-lasting and virtually maintenance-free, eliminating almost all upkeep associated with the project. Furthermore, Cambridge's experienced staff partners with architects, engineers and others associated with the project to avoid any potentially excessive costs.
Sustainable
Both 100% recyclable and made from recycled materials, woven metal mesh used in LandscapeInteriors solutions promotes sustainability. Many Cambridge Architectural mesh applications meet current Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED®) requirements. The long life of a Cambridge LandscapeInteriors solution minimizes the need for replacement, making it an ideal product where other green building materials are specified.
