the sanctuary
The Sanctuary, a set of apartment homes and offices housed inside a former church, poses a classic example of Urban Edge Development Group's historic and award-winning work in adaptive re-use. Located in Tampa Heights, the Sanctuary metamorphosed in 2003 from a converted United Methodist Church and the Blake Memorial Sunday School Buildings. We successfully created lush, contemporary living space, while maintaining the buildings' cathedral-like grandeur: for example, the distinguished dentil and modillion cornices, classic fluted columns with Corinthian capitals and pedimented gable entrances, as well as the classical round windows with keystones and the original leaded and steeled stained-glass windows.
Because the Sanctuary provides an outstanding example of renovated Greek Revival architecture, it has received not only Hillsborough County's most prestigious design award in 2004: the Jan Abell Award for Historic Preservation and Community Development; but also the Florida Preservation Award for 2004.
