Strict architectural guidelines of the upscale Bellevue, WA community required that this 5,544 sq. ft. modular chapel be designed to blend into the surrounding residential and commercial corridor.

To meet the city's requirements, ModSpace concealed the wall-mounted HVAC units with screens and incorporated a pitched roof and front porch into the Salvation Army's Chapel and Community Center design.

The roof structure had to be part of the building to facilitate the relocation. The chapel will serve offices for the local Salvation Army and as a community center that provides after school activities for the neighborhood.

The building had a couple of technical challenges to overcome. The roof system is a 3/12 pitched roof that is hinged at each end of the six modular units. In addition, the structure required a chapel area with a 9 ft ceiling and 54 ft clear span space - but still had to be transportable into the city.

Included in the design is an underground detention tank that allows the greatest use of the property for outside activities. The efficiency in the design and construction will facilitate the relocation of the building in the future - a design criteria of the customer.

This 5,544 sq. ft. modular building was comprised of 6 14'x66' modules and the entire project was complete and ready for occupancy in less than five months.
