Client Testimonials
Immanuel Presbyterian Church
"We are more than pleased with the services we received from Doug. He brought a breadth of knowledge and experience to the table that we needed. His vision for our spaces was a cut above other architects we interviewed. The space he designed is inviting, warm and visually vibrant - rooms that you want to spend time in. He was also timely and responsive. He knew all the right questions to ask of us to determine what we wanted and how best to meet that felt need. I can heartily recommend Doug and would work with him again should the occasion arise."

"Holy Cross Lutheran Church had the pleasure of working with Doug Lasch at Faith Environ Studio through all phases of a recently completed major renovation project at our facility on Geneva Road in Wheaton. Beginning with concept planning all the way through construction, he was instrumental in creating, designing, permitting, and managing a variety of improvements to the look, layout, and operation of our entryway, narthex, and sanctuary spaces. He helped craft congregational consensus on project scope and budget, coordinating permitting, and closely monitored construction activities to deliver the improvements within the specified time and budget. Holy Cross is very pleased with the results and highly recommends Faith Environ Studio for consideration of any type of church improvement project."

"We had a major renovation of an 85-year old sanctuary. Doug came up with and executed a masterful plan that retained all the charm of the space while increasing our functionality and accessibility ten-fold. Every detail was thought of and cared for, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with Doug as he worked diligently to bring our vision to fulfillment. For future projects, we wouldn't dream of working with anyone else!."

"It was a pleasure working with Faith Environ Studio on our million dollar church sanctuary renovation. Doug’s church experience, knowledge, and creativity really helped the vision and design of the project. He developed a presentation for the congregation to help us get the project funded. He was also helpful in the bidding and execution of the construction. From beginning to end, Doug was an enjoyable person and excellent partner for our church renovation!"

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
"Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Naperville had completed a major expansion resulting in a portion of the old building not being used frequently, but ministries needed space to grow. We contracted with Doug Lasch of Faith Environ Studio to review our ministry needs and the space to be considered for remodeling. Good Shepherd had a growing ministry for Special Needs children that required unique facilities and a new choir rehearsal room. Doug developed a building utilizing a seldom used stage area in the Activity Center and created a two-level space with a large choir rehearsal room and a welcoming, comfortable facility for the special needs children. with the availability of that new facility our special needs ministry has grown significantly and is serving families throughout our communities. The choir room has served our Worship Team well. We enjoyed working with Doug on this project and appreciated his creative ideas on how best to utilize our space while meeting ministry needs."

New Song Community Church
"I was the chair of our church's building committee and hired Doug as the architect for the construction of our new church facility. After talking to multiple architects, I was convinced that Doug had the experience we were looking for with a variety of styles of churches and would bring lots of good ideas. It was definitely the right decision, as Doug worked with us through not only architectural design, but also working closely with our building committee and the general contractor through the entire project to ensure it was done correctly. On multiple occasions we ran into budget issues, and Doug was able to flex and provide alternate options to help us get the project completed. I definitely recommend Doug for anyone that is looking for an architect to support their church building project."
