CAMPUS ADDITIONS, RENOVATIONS + SITEWORK
CALVARY CHAPEL MURRIETA
Murrieta, California
The transformation of this regional church campus reinterprets its identity through an Aegean modern ranch architectural language, aligning it with the Temecula Valley wine country context and establishing a renewed civic presence.
At its core is a redesigned, acoustically engineered sanctuary featuring new finishes, advanced sound and control booths, and specialized acoustical wall treatments. These elements create an immersive environment for worship and live performances.
The sanctuary entry is marked by a reconstructed portico and a curved trellis that guides visitors from parking into the narthex and central courtyard. The courtyard serves as a vibrant hub for gathering and connection, surrounded by a café, restrooms, classrooms, and multipurpose rooms that open through glass garage doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
The courtyard includes landscaped areas, seating, and a children’s play surface, fostering a welcoming, community-oriented atmosphere. Adjacent to it, a former kindergarten building has been converted into a flexible overflow space for up to 200 people, equipped with staging, lighting, and audiovisual systems to support both worship services and events.
