Sneak Peek – Bayside Granite Bay Redesign

PlainJoe is taking part in Thrive Leadership 2018, “3 Days That Will Ignite Your Passion and Recharge Your Leadership.” It’s an honor to join leaders, dreamers, and doers like Louie Giglio, Aja Brown, Scott Harrison, Bob Goff, and Levi Lusko.

If you’re attending Thrive Leadership at Bayside Church, we want to give you a sneak peek at PlainJoe’s redesign for the Granite Bay campus.

The redesign will include a new modern glass atrium with soft seating areas. A high vaulted ceiling structure extends the public entry leading into the church. Soft seating creates exterior living room space for personal connection. A future sports park will include soccer fields for neighborhood leagues.

As you walk around the campus, try to picture what it will look like when the project is finished.

For a deep dive, check out this 3D fly-through of Bayside’s future facilities.

This incredible video fly through of our design was created by our friends John Shulters of Ascension Studios in Placerville, CA (http://ascensionstudios.com/ ) and Paul Davis of Valley Graphics in Roseville, CA (http://www.valleygraphicsonline.com/)

We’re humbled to be Bayside’s design partner at 4 of their other sites as well.
