Interior Completion

The Lindisfarne Sanctuary
Crestone, Colorado

The Lindisfarne Sanctuary was partially completed in the 1980s, with its floor and base having been left unfinished. The client called for the use of "Sacred Geometry" in this design in order to be in keeping with the design traditions of the Lindisfarne Association. A double radiating spiral design was chosen for the floor's earthen colored brick, reminiscent of the American sunflower's seed pattern. To "ground" the pre-existing wooden dome above, local granite stone was used to create a seating bench around the interior perimeter of the space.
