Project Details: Cambridge Architectural recently fabricated a custom Landscape Interior system for the new Commodore Uriah P. Levy Center and Jewish Chapel at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD.

The chapel doors open to a balanced expanse of lofty heights and solid stone. The 47-foot ceilings are adorned with a custom-designed Cambridge Architectural Landscape Interior mesh system that mimics billowing sails.

Cambridge's Infinity metal fabric pattern, supported by custom Frame attachment hardware, creates the LandscapeInteriors mesh system or tensile structure, which was painted then sanded to create a weathered maritime white.

Inside the 410-seat chapel, mosaic tiling and a 45-foot-tall stone wall inspired by the Temple Mount’s Western Wall contrast with the openness of the woven metal. Both features are constructed of stone quarried in Jerusalem.
