We have completed many projects over the years for The Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District.  As they began developing a 2-acre park in the Harveytown neighborhood in Huntington, we were asked to design a pavilion, restroom building and picnic shelter. Special emphasis was given to representing the historical legacy of this former farming community through architecture, while creating a gathering space for the neighborhood. The 4,000 sf outdoor pavilion and 1,000 sf covered picnic shelter are fully handicapped accessible, as is the 900 sf restroom building.  Mark Blumenstein, a West Virginia sculptor, designed and fabricated a “wild bird” weather vane for the restroom building cupola, adding whimsy and memory of the community’s rural heritage.  The project was completed in 2006.

The congregation constructed a new sanctuary and social hall in two phases.  The sanctuary seats approximately 140 worshippers. The Church’s architecture is inspired from early churches of the Byzantine era, with its traditional cruciform plan and full dome. The intricate detailing of the worship space is accentuated by colorful iconographic paintings typical of the Orthodox Church. The social hall addition includes a large gathering space with a kitchen, classrooms and restrooms.
