Church Design and Master Planning

Our design studio is ultimately gauged by our core expertise - understanding churches. This expertise is as unique in the industry as church buildings are to their communities. Master planning for churches is unlike any other planning exercise, requiring insight into church operations far exceeding typical planning acumen. That unique insight and expertise is required for these common aspects of church projects:

  • Master Planning

  • Multi-Purpose Design

  • Image

  • Acoustics

  • Facilities Management

We specialize in any building type or project a church may undertake, i.e., auditoriums, multi-purpose buildings, schools, daycare, retirement centers, radio stations, real estate development, etc. Traditional church projects typically include sanctuaries, education, or multi-purpose buildings, however these other project types are the vanguard of ever-expanding church project types.

Master Planning is used in commercial construction projects like schools, healthcare, retail, etc., but church master planning is truly unique. Church growth is not always predictable, which requires church master planning expertise.

identity

Church image is defined by the character of the church congregation. Of all the churches of faith, each congregation is unique, and the building design should reflect that identity.

multi-purpose design

Churches add ministries to address the dynamic needs of the congregation. Multi-Purpose design is the most efficient solution to provide for multi-ministry, but it must be done with expertise to fully satisfy each function.
