Master Planning : Design : Construction : Development
Siebenlist Architects has built a practice based on service. True architectural service cannot be canned or mass-produced because each project is unique. As a result, our portfolio of projects reflects a wide range of diversity from progressive, high-tech commercial images to traditional church architecture of any context.
Our methodology at SA is based on the notion that vision, planning, design and construction/development are simply not separate and distinct tasks. Addressing all of these issues comprehensively, we help develop inclusive solutions that typically bring projects to its users at an elevated velocity, while accomplishing client goals and agenda.Our expertise began on staff as Director of Facilities of 30,000+ member mega-church, and a campus of 9 buildings totaling over 500,000sf. This experience provided unique insight into the way churches use buildings. There are few, if any architects who have had to live with the designs, operating and maintaining the buildings. So aspects like Acoustics, A/V, Church Image, Master Planning, Multi-Purpose Spaces, Multi-Ministry flexibility, Church School, Church Kitchen, Church Nursery/DayCare, Church Senior Care, etc., are all Church considerations we understand very well.
No matter what the priorities are for a church, an expertly designed building is always the most cost-effective. As an example, we designed a project for a church relocating from inner-city to the suburbs. The old building was 60% larger, but the Church says they have more space now than ever at the old building, because it was expertly designed to their particular use and operation. Their new efficient floor plan saved almost $2M in current construction costs.
Also, our experience as Construction Managers keeps our projects on track and in budget. In our program, we guarantee the budget, INCLUDING soft costs like professional fees, surveying, lab testing, permitting, etc.
