There are moments in architecture when our work becomes about something much larger than the building itself.
After years of designing and building, our team had the extraordinary privilege of joining the Wat Khmer Kampuchea Krom community for the raising of the temple’s pinnacle. As monks, families, and community members gathered, the pinnacle rose into place. It was a profoundly moving moment, marking an important milestone in the creation of this sacred space that will preserve the community’s faith and traditions for generations to come. We are deeply grateful to play a part in bringing this extraordinary place to life.
Part V of our blog series, A Buddhist Temple Rises in the Bay Area, is now on our website. Link in bio.
