Iconostasis is the icons' holder that separates the sanctuary from the main body of the church.  Many desings have incorporated the specific order and locations of icons in coptic churche iconostasis.

Coptic patterns have been used very early (since third and fourth centuries) in coptic churches as demonstrated in many iconostasis.

Coptic church interiors have been preserving a coptic style in different ways.  Ceinling Gypsum patterns, wood and Gypsum wall panellings, stained glasses, Mashrabiya style separating walls, etc. have identified a particular style of the coptic architecture.

Professional coptic architects in North America decided to create COPTICARCHITECTS.COM.  It is formed with the purpose to assist Coptic Churches in the US and Canada to design true Coptic style buildings that reflect our rich Coptic heritage.
