First Free Church

ChurchRenovation
Written By Brian Van Winkle

How do you bring life to a Children's Center in your basement?  And how do you jam a Youth Center right next door and pull it off so that they have unique identities and simple wayfinding?  You call Vessel that's how!  First Free Church did and we immediately embarked on a complete renovation of thousands of square feet of underutilized basement area.  We think you'll agree the results are stunning and destroy preconceptions of a 'basement'.
