Refurbished church railing

We were tasked with refurbishing St. Mary’s Church in Riverside’s old communion railing and redesigning it as a choir loft railing. We started the project back in February but the chaos of recent times had us delaying this project for longer than we anticipated. We finally got the old railings sanded down, re-assembled, painted, detailed and installed in early August. We added clear glass railings on either side of the refurbished railing as a means of creating a safety barrier while simultaneously not detracting from the beauty of the surrounding art and permitting people to have a clear view of the altar, even when seated in the balcony. Not only are the refurbished railings a crucial safety feature for the choir loft, they really tie the church together by matching the design and color scheme from the altar and applying it to the back of the church. They look like they were made to be there and that is exactly what we intended.
