A Professionally-Built Iconostasis for a Mission Church

By Andrew Gould on November 12, 2020
A Professionally-Built Iconostasis for a Mission Church

The iconostasis featured here is the culmination of an idea I have been developing for several years. It is installed at Saint Matthew the Apostle Orthodox Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I would like to tell the story of how it came to be, and discuss the problems it is meant to solve. The iconostasis […]

A Monastic Chapel for Spruce Island, Alaska

In a part of America that is rich with historic Orthodox churches, a new one, faithful to the local architectural tradition, is now under construction. In the spring of 2018 I travelled to Spruce Island, where St. Herman of Alaska lived from 1808 until his death in 1837. I had come to design a new […]

A Constellation of Chandeliers – Some Recent Lighting Projects

I have written some articles in the past about large choros chandeliers that I have designed and installed. But today, I’d like to introduce a number of other lighting projects: individual or unusual fixtures, chandeliers in interesting places, and other pieces I’ve had the pleasure of making. I will start with a recent chandelier I […]

The Principles of Orthodox Architecture Expressed in a Secular Building

The Principles of Orthodox Architecture Expressed in a Secular Building

If I may ask my readers’ indulgence, I would like to present one of my projects that is, emphatically, not Orthodox liturgical art. In full disclosure, it is a temple of another, quite secular, liturgy – the buying and selling of craft beer and fine wine. But, before you admonish me for writing about a […]

Design for an Orthodox Church in Amish Country

Design for an Orthodox Church in Amish Country

I was recently asked to design a new chapel for Saint Gregory Palamas Orthodox Monastery in Perrysville, Ohio. It is an especially pleasing project for me because the site is located in the heart of the most idyllic Amish farm country – rolling hills, huge simple barns, elegant Victorian farmhouses, quiet roads with horse-drawn buggies. […]

A Choros Chandelier for a Timber Frame Church

During the fall and winter of 2013, I had the marvelous opportunity to make and install a choros chandelier for St. Thomas the Apostle Orthodox Church in Waldorf, Maryland (a parish of the American Carpatho-Russian Diocese). The project was my second large articulated choros (the first, in South Carolina, was described in this article from […]

A Byzantine Church in Wood for South Carolina

For the past year, I have been working to design a substantial new church building for the OCA parish of St. John of the Ladder in Greenville, South Carolina. The parish has acquired an attractive wooded property and wishes to relocate completely. They will need a temple for 250 people and also a parish hall. […]

An Icon of the Kingdom of God: The Integrated Expression of all the Liturgical Arts - Part 3: The Role of Panel Icons, Frescoes, and the Iconostasis

This is post 3 of 12 in the series “An Icon of the Kingdom of God” This is the third part of an ongoing serial. (Part 1, Part 2) Panel icons and wall frescoes play very different roles in our liturgical experience. Panel icons are personal and engaging. They convey a vibrant life and reality, […]
