Faith Community Center
Gary, IN
2025

At Faith Community Center, we strive to create immersive experiences for the community through immersive environments and building connections. Our dormitories, cafe, and community area display the design and decor of Gary, Indiana with rich history in mind. Rustic and modern touches meet comfortability and catch the eye.
Based off of the sculpture “The Fusion” located south of Gary, Indiana’s steel mills, it represents the multitude of ethnic groups that came together to build Gary. This concept is intended to create an inviting space that blends organic and modern lines. Dark and moody colors along with natural lighting provide an attachment to the culture of Gary and give users a grasp of history. It is intended to be dynamic with touches of movement, texture, and color that complement each other simultaneously. Warm and cool toned colors are also added to induce curiosity and comfort while rustic and modern touches provide sophistication. These clients will have room to learn, grow, and build intimacy with others but also build their own forms of privacy through the fusion of community.

Based on bringing inclusivity and connection throughout the community, fades of different metallic colors coming together create a space that invites users in. The reception area welcomes guests through modern yet cozy touches. A large community area with space for various activities allows the community to thrive and form connections along the way with the cafe and kitchen area for guests to utilize at their convenience. Bringing Gary to life, brick accents and light wood flooring alongside rustic touches aid in bringing a sense of Gary culture to the space in subtle yet exhilarating ways.
