Armonk Synagogue
Armonk, New York
Margaret Garcia Project Architect with Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership

“The B’nai Yisrael Synagogue included a complete redesign of the site plan and architectural design for an expandable sanctuary, social hall, administrative offices, classrooms, and library. From nearly every vantage point within the building, the natural world remains in view as a constant reminder of creation. Three resonant forms define the building’s volumes and functions, each making reference to the history and values of Judaism. A canopy over the sanctuary evokes the nomadic origins of the Israelites. A wall differentiates the synagogue’s sacred and secular spaces. A round library suggests the centrality of study to Judaism.”
