Paul Barribeau
Architect
GROTH Design Group’s Religious Studio is led by Senior Liturgical Designer, Paul Barribeau. As a former pastor, and now a licensed architect and liturgical consultant, he sees religious architectural design through a unique lens. We know the needs of congregations and communities change over time as they minister to the ever-changing needs of our society. Our Religious Studio team works to understand the mission and vision of the church to design flexible spaces that support and enhance functionality and value for today and into the future. Our designs strive to seamlessly blend historic and traditional facilities with forward-thinking and renewed spaces that support the programming needs of the community, church and congregation.
APPROACH
PHILOSOPHY
Great design is a healthy collaborative process that occurs within an environment of realistic constraints. My goal is to involve as many parish members as possible according to their individual capacity, while being respectful of parish traditions, the budget, and the identified programmatic needs. In many cases, the building of a new parish for example, my role becomes one of helping the group to establish or plan for traditions, create a construction budget, and develop an architectural program. I do this with the clear intention of fostering and maintaining unity and goodwill throughout the parish.
