FBC Sonoma
Las Cruces, NM
With an evolving ministry model and the desire to relocate to a new area of town, this well-established church needed a space that could grow with them. We delivered a 19,000 SF facility with state of the art technology at $300k under budget. Within two years they were able to double their services.

2-year design-to-completion
Halfway through construction, FBC Sonoma’s leadership came to us hoping to add an LED display wall and state of the art upgrades for their entire AVL system. The budget couldn’t move. Instead of pushing back, we returned to the drawings, found the trade-offs, and made it work. The church got everything they wanted, and we still came in $300K under the original projection. Within two years FBC Las Cruces was able to double their services.

Temple Beth-el
Las Cruces, NM
Temple Beth-El in Las Cruces desired to design a worship space to commemorate covenantal moments in Jewish history. This synagogue is thoughtfully organized around the centrality of the Torah. The design fosters a sense of unity and reflection, creating a secure and sacred space that honors tradition while serving the needs of the community.

8,755 SF
$1.4M / $160 SF
From early on in the design process, we were transparent with our clients about what their program would cost to build. The first bids came back confirming what we had projected. Instead of walking away, we rolled up our sleeves and reworked the design to fit the budget. In the end, we kept what mattered most and brought the project in at $160/SF. That kind of persistence through a difficult process is part of what we bring to every project.

FBC El Paso presented us with a beautiful gothic canvas and the opportunity to weave a multi-purpose facility into three eras of community history. The addition includes educational classrooms, a gym, a fellowship hall and a commercial kitchen.

30,000 SF
Our challenge was integrating modern materials while maintaining design consistency. To accomplish this, we designed and cast details into tilt up concrete panels that corresponded to the gothic stonework of the original church. We had the privilege of working very closely with the church’s building committee. The relationships built with this team has lasted for many years.

To preserve the sacredness of the space we implemented many elevated windows to provide natural light while installing technology powerful enough to eliminate glare and maximize visibility. The church now has a space that functionally matches their theological and practical ministry desires.

Calvary Baptist Church Addition
Las Cruces, NM
This established church in Las Cruces, NM expanded its space for ministry with a preschool wing, and an outdoor amphitheater. The design included a remodel of the sanctuary, and a complete gut of an outdated common area. We collaborated to develop a master plan for a multi-phase endeavor heading into the future.

The mission was to transport the identity, culture and design solutions onto two odd slivers of land connected by a thin strip. Working together, we maximized the property lot by giving the church’s growing families a flexible, fluid education space conveniently connected to the worship center with a secondary main entrance reducing bottlenecks on Sunday mornings.
