Sustainable design became the unifying approach to the new High Desert Children?s ministry building in Victorville, California.

This rendering of the project reflects the ministry?s request to incorporate fun design elements that relate to children while providing new campus-wide ?architectural language? and style.

The result of implementing green design is a building that uses less energy to build; uses local materials and strategies to lower operating costs; and puts more money toward ministry instead of utility bills.
