Building with Heart: Designing Spaces that Pray

Paul Barribeau, religious studio director at GROTH Design Group, has dedicated his life to service. As GROTH Design Group’s very first hire, and a former pastor, Paul has almost exclusively worked on faith-based and liturgical design across all denominations. His unmatched passion and sense of responsibility have laid the foundation for his reputation as a highly respected and unmatched expert in the religious design space.

In this edition of Building with Heart, Paul shares his process of journeying with a church — designing spaces that pray and speak to the heart. From sanctuary acoustics to community gathering areas, Paul’s story reflects GDG’s thoughtful approach to design.
