Houston’s First Baptist Church selected Kirksey to master plan and design their new campus in Cypress, Texas. The 100,000-sf church is located on 32.4 acres of land in Bridgeland, a master-planned community in Northwest Houston. The first phase of this project includes a 1,300-seat worship center, educational spaces for all ages, and administrative offices. The design is meant to feel organic and natural, as if the building itself grew in place and formed out of need, much like the church body and congregation. To achieve this, materials that are familiar to the Katy Prairie were used in the design and integrated into the building.
