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

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.

Planning, Design and Construction

Each project, client, and site is unique. To fully accomplish the goals and requirements of each project requires the kind of expertise and flexibility reflected in our construction program.

Construction Management
Combining the roles of architect and builder results in the most of each project design and budget. Open Book professional design and construction services provide the most value for any agenda or building program. Construction Management is especially the right program for churches that:

• Need help defining or managing any building program, including addition, relocation, or renovation

• Want help financing their project

• Understand the value of professional service, but are challenged with budget limitations

• Are in a building program or have a construction project of any type or size

Through the Construction Management program, we take our clients from beginning to end of a project - on time and in budget - by providing master planning, managing design and construction, coordinating sub-contractor bidding, and negotiating with vendors for price and quality. It is our dedication to overcoming even the biggest budget obstacles that make this program such an immense value. We will work with lenders, insurance companies, donors, volunteers, fundraising events, and stewardship campaigns to realize your project goals.

Any church project, from a simple renovation to a complete campus relocation, can realize the most competitive pricing possible because it’s an open-book program, created to avoid a result that’s over budget and below expectations.

Modern experiences, inspired by tradition 

Siebenlist Architects is committed to translating the values of a church into modern, relevant, and community-based facilities. Integrating emotion and function, our most successful projects are the result of a rigorous master planning and design development process that is supported by a realistic budget.

An inspiring invitation to come together

From baptisms to weddings or memorial services, the design of a church space must address a wide variety of needs and emotions in an authentic and meaningful way. We work to understand your ministry and church body to ensure this component of design.
