About This Project

Nestled in the serene landscape of Nicholson, PA, the Chapel in the Woods stands as a testament to craftsmanship and timeless design. This project, initiated in 2016, sought to create a sacred space that harmoniously blends with its natural surroundings while embodying elegance and reverence. The use of hand-carved and re-purposed church pews throughout the chapel reflects a commitment to sustainability and tradition, ensuring that every piece of furniture not only serves a functional purpose but also tells a story of its own. The architectural design features quarter-sawn frames paired with white oak flat-sawn wood, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. These materials were carefully selected for their durability and aesthetic appeal, contributing to the chapel's rustic charm. The centerpiece of the design is the striking Ipe wood steeple, which punctuates the skyline, adding a touch of sophistication and grace. The choice of materials was intentional, focusing on original elements that are hundreds of years old, which imbues the space with a sense of history and connection to the past. Every detail of the chapel has been meticulously crafted, from the intricate woodwork to the elegant lighting fixtures. Handmade New Orleans copper gas lamps illuminate the interior, casting a soft glow that enhances the tranquil ambiance. These lamps not only provide functional lighting but also serve as decorative elements that tie the overall design together, further emphasizing the rustic elegance of the space. The outcome of the Chapel in the Woods is a serene sanctuary that invites reflection and connection, making it an ideal venue for gatherings, ceremonies, or quiet contemplation. The seamless integration of thoughtful design, quality materials, and skilled craftsmanship has resulted in a space that resonates with a greater and higher source, truly embodying the spirit of its surroundings.
