. . . In the Service of Creating Sacred Space . . .
-Providing careful thought, expertise, and consideration to each aspect of the design and renewal of sacred space
-Integrating design sensitivity that goes beyond the mechanics of architectural design to enable worship space to cohesively express its fundamental sacred character.
-Providing essential creative elements necessary to articulate and present the vision: to actually see the possibilities to be realized in the creation or renewal of each sacred environment.
-Merging practical design and construction expertise with extensive knowledge of liturgical and theological priorities grounded in the richness of Christian spirituality.
Too often, worship spaces are saddled with the design novelties that are popular in the moment but lack the ability to articulate and express the living yet timeless spiritual heritage of the faith community. The aesthetics of sacred space are completely distinct and different from the approach of typical architectural design. What we build in the present must speak to the generations still to come. We need to be fluid in our approach to the creation and renewal of sacred space, but we need also to be keenly aware of the inherent responsibility to meaningfully express the heritage that is handed on to us
