About My Work

We just had a project open that represents some of the unique ways we work and bring value to our clients. We are always looking to stay ahead of the curve and venture into areas that will separate us from our competition.

Watermark Church is a rapidly growing church here in Dallas. They have been meeting in a High School for a number of years. They bought an office tower a couple of years ago and began renovating it floor by floor. Recently they opened their first auditorium that seats 2400. It is a temporary auditorium that will serve them for several years while they work on a 3400 seat sanctuary.

Our first work was to help them with the auditorium design. The architects had outlined a rough footprint, and we developed the core room concept. Following was one of our initial renderings.





As the design progressed, we helped the design team with 3D coordination of the mechanical ductworks, technical elements, structure, and the ceiling. The ceiling is often the trickiest part of a sanctuary that has a lot of technology because there are so many items that are fighting for space. This was one of our renderings (without the ceiling).




We worked with the design team on the acoustics of the space, and assisted the church and the AV Contractor with technical systems.

Near the end of the project, they hired us to help them develop what the stage might look like if they added some scenic elements. Unfortunately this work started too late in the process and won't be implemented, but the images are great.



Finally, a picture from their opening service.
