Saint Gertrude celebrates 101 years of faith and education

For nearly a century, Saint Gertrude High School, Virginia’s only all-girls Catholic preparatory day school, was a staple of Richmond’s Museum District, the students in their signature green uniforms a common sight on the city’s sidewalks.

The school’s internal design team started planning for a new school building in the spring of 2020. They met with several architectural firms before selecting Richmond-based Glavé & Holmes to build the 51,000-square-foot structure overlooking the James River.

“We chose Glavé & Holmes because they demonstrated the best understanding of what our internal design team wanted to accomplish: honor the Catholic and periodic architectural traditions of the original Saint Gertrude build- ing, develop a modern school building to meet a high standard of pedagogical and technological support, and expand the building’s functionality to further reinforce the Rule of Saint Benedict, particularly the Rule’s emphasis on building ‘community,’” explained Jesse Grapes, president of the Benedictine Schools of Richmond.

Bespoke is a lovely English word, associated with fine Savile Row tailoring. In recent years, furniture makers have adopted the term to describe hand crafted furniture designed and built for a singular client.

Glavé & Holmes Architecture has a long history of these unique commissions to create one of a kind furniture, lighting, wallpapers, rugs, and fabric. Each is a reflection of the individual character and desires of the client and adds distinctive heirloom character to their hotel or home.

High Street United Methodist Church Wins ASID Award

≈ Comments Off on High Street United Methodist Church Wins ASID Award

We are pleased to announce that our Interior Design Studio has received Honorable Mention in the Institutional category of the 2012 ASID IDEA Awards for their work at  High Street United Methodist Church.

Having outgrown their previous location, High Street United Method Church (HSUMC) of Franklin, Virginia wished to create a space that functioned as a community center and a welcoming place of worship. The new building speaks to the congregation’s long history in downtown Franklin while celebrating their hope in the future. HSUMC commissioned Bruce Wardell Architects (BRWA), of Charlottesville, Virginia, to design a new church for them following a generous donation from a member of their congregation – and BRWA invited our firm’s Interior Design studio to help integrate the elements of unity, hope, history and community throughout the churches interiors and furnishings.

Seeking to provide a space that could provide community stewardship, the design team used traditional materials and forms in a contemporary way to broaden the churches audience, extend its range of services and support the church’s values. Capitalizing on the re-use of some of the church’s historical elements, including some of the light fixtures and stained-glass windows, finish materials were selected that spoke to the rich history of the congregation as part of the Franklin community. The new facility provides state of the art media and technical resources and generous room for growth as part of the church’s message of hope and commitment to the future.
