Worship Facilities

At HEALY BENDER PATTON & BEEN ARCHITECTS, we strive to create architectural designs that not only inspire but also provide functionality and flexibility to accommodate diverse worship practices. From the layout and arrangement of sacred spaces to the selection of materials and incorporation of natural light, every aspect of our designs is meticulously crafted to enhance the worship experience. We prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency in our designs, recognizing responsibility to our planet and its resources. Our goal is to create worship facilities that are not only beautiful and timeless but also welcoming, inclusive, and reflective of the collective faith and aspirations of each congregation we serve.

The New Balaji Temple in Aurora
Enveloped by breathtaking landscapes, devotees and visitors alike are awe-struck by Balaji Temple's scale and majestic new east-facing entrance. Once inside, visitors experience a grand new atrium space bathed in natural light. The atrium features a monumental staircase leading up to the main prayer hall. Dedicated spaces for cultural and educational activities, community gatherings, and multi-purpose rooms provide an expansive platform to foster spiritual growth among devotees.

Project Completion was late 2022.
