Phillip Breckler - Owner
Adoremus is an architecture firm focused on delivering custom design solutions with a particular passion and focus on ecclesiastical projects. Adoremus offers professional design services and consultation for your project - whether it is a new church, a renovation of a sanctuary or an entire cathedral, or new custom furnishings. We are located in Fort Wayne, Indiana and have projects in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan.
Our approach is rooted in tradition, drawing inspiration from those who came before us while adapting these universal principles to your unique project. With each project, we seek to work alongside you to help execute your shared vision. As 20th-century architect Sir Ninian Comper wrote, “the purpose of a church is not to express the age in which it was built or the individuality of its designer….a church should be, not that of novelty, but of eternity.”
Phillip Breckler started working on religious projects while attaining his Master of Architecture degree at the University of Notre Dame. Faith is a central aspect of his life and he is blessed that his professional work allows his to work alongside pastors and faith communities to support the great work they all do.
“The modern or contemporary solution of architectural problems should, I believe, be the designing of buildings of today in a forthright manner reflective of present economic and living conditions. However, the apparent presumption of entirely negating all artistic tradition, resulting in barren starkness, poses the question: Are we sufficiently gifted to completely renounce the culture of antecedent civilizations?"
