Having a communal space in your church can help you meet the growing needs of your congregation and community. If your church is growing rapidly, you may want to expand your available space. However, there are a few design factors you may want to consider before you start a construction project. Here are three tips for building a communal space for your congregation.
Contemplate Your Unique Needs
Before building a communal space for your congregation, you may want to contemplate your unique needs for the space. For example, how do you plan to use the space, and how frequently will you use it? What furniture or other items will be included? What design elements would you like to have? Knowing this information can help you make the best use of the space.
Create a Comfortable Communal Space
One of the most crucial factors to consider when building a communal space for your congregation is a comfortable atmosphere. Consider an open floor design with adequate lighting and plenty of space to maneuver freely around furniture. In addition, you may want to consider installing dimmer switches to control the brightness for individuals with light sensitivity.
Hire a Professional Design Build Firm
Building a communal space for your congregation can be an exhaustive process. You may be working with a tight budget, and hiring numerous construction professionals can get expensive and time-consuming. A design-build firm consists of every professional you will need at a more affordable cost with the expertise and resources to deliver outstanding results.
