Congregation Beth Israel
Chico, California
09.28.2011
Griffith Architects was asked by the CBI board to investigate the spatial requirements and possible form for a new Center for Jewish Life. We are midway in this process, having polled the Congregation, reviewed existing facilities, developed a spatial program, and held a vision meeting with interested members.
A number of themes have emerged—expandable Sanctuary/meeting Hall—views to the landscape--courtyard–separate buildings—security--sacred without pretense—sensitive to the community—low profile, but welcoming—green design within reasonable costs—natural materials—
