Highlands Spirit, lavishly illustrated with 77 color photographs, is the story of the transformation of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation in Highlands, North Carolina. This photo book was assembled by Ethan Anthony, the Principal architect at Cram and Ferguson. It features essays by The Reverend Bentley Manning, Rector of the church and Matthew Alderman, chief designer at Cram and Ferguson, and photographs from Stephen Barling and the architects.

Highlands Spirit provides an example of a building program that preserves the essential spirit of the church that existed before the renovation yet also manages to unify an original 1896 carpenter gothic country chapel and three additions built in stages over the following century.

A perfect look-book for the Clergy, Vestry and parishioner interested in bringing creative change management to their church. Highlands Spirit demonstrates strategies for improving the look of a dingy space, overcoming the disadvantages presented by spatial planning that fails to inspire. Highlands Spirit will inspire you to restore, preserve and unite your space.

If you are seeking ideas to improve your church, Highlands spirit is full of ideas. Available now to acquire online from www.cramandferguson.com/shop.
