Orcas Christian School (*while employed at Lewis Architects)
The Orcas Christian School has grown rapidly since its inception, which drove the need for a gymnasium. The gymnasium and High School were designed to match the existing church and Elementary school's rural farm style. The barn form was a natural choice due to the size and volume required, allowing it to fit in with the smaller adjacent buildings.
