This project presented the opportunity to optimize the acoustics for a completely new facility. The client desired a traditional cruciform room shape with the music space in the front. A particular challenge in this design was to allow organ tone to reach the main part of the nave, given that the organ was placed in a side transept. The choir / music area was designed to be flexible for the various musical ensembles that utilize the space. Primarily, hard materials were used to create acoustics that are friendly to both music and spoken word.

The Berghaus organ was designed with a wide tonal palette across two manuals and pedal. In order to achieve desired durability, sound quality, and a detached, mobile console, electric slider chests were employed.
