DESIGN PHILOSOPHYSUCCESSFUL PROJECTS REQUIRE ARCHITECTS TO HAVE A TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF A CLIENT’S SPECIFIC NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS.

PHILOSOPHY IN PRACTICEIN RELIGIOUS PROJECTS WE FEEL IT IS CRITICAL TO HAVE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIQUE ISSUES AND CHARACTERISTICS THAT DISTINGUISHES YOUR CHURCH AND THE WAY YOU WORSHIP.

THESE CRITERIA SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN DESIGN, LAYOUT, MATERIALS, AND FORMS.

THE PROCESS BEGINS AND ENDS WITH AN ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OF BOTH THE CONGREGATION AND DESIGN TEAM. OUR RELATIONSHIP WILL ENABLE US TO DESIGN YOUR SPECIFIC PROJECT, WHILE ASSISTING YOU IN “BUILDING OWNERSHIP” AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
