"I am reminded of the Biblical verse: "I was glad when they said unto me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'" (Psalm 122:1). As the Pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Jacksonville, Florida, under the Diocese of St. Augustine, I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation for Benny Kuriakose and Ben Design Group Inc. for their exceptional work on our sanctuary renovation. Benny’s architectural vision was instrumental in meeting our church’s needs for a renovated sanctuary, particularly in relocating the tabernacle to the center of the sanctuary, which creates a powerful spiritual focus for our worshiping community. He beautifully designed this new sanctuary with a magnificent long arch in a warm wood finish, complemented by Crema Marfil marble and imported Rosso Francia marble from Italy. The construction is not only meaningful but also beautiful, featuring a triple-arch design that serves as a sophisticated architectural symbol of the Holy Trinity. From a leadership perspective, Benny’s project management was exemplary. Benny’s professionalism, cleanliness, efficiency, and organizational skills were superb throughout the process. Their enthusiasm and respect for working in a sacred space were evident at all times. He worked under a fixed-price contract and successfully completed the entire project within the committed timeframe, never once utilizing a contingency fund. This level of financial discipline and professional integrity, combined with superior craftsmanship, has provided our community with a sanctuary of immense beauty and spiritual depth."

"As the General Secretary of the Altar Renovation Committee and Trustee for St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Forane Church in Philadelphia, I had the privilege of overseeing the design and construction of our new altar with Benny Kuriakose and Ben Design Group Inc.. This project required a rare blend of architectural vision and rigorous project management. Because several specialized elements were handcrafted in India, Benny’s role in coordinating between international artisans and local contractors was essential. Through a high volume of detailed drawings and persistent Zoom sessions, he bridged the gap between different trades in different parts of the world to ensure every piece fit with surgical precision upon arrival. The technical quality of the work is outstanding. Benny personally managed the transition from the heavy structural framing of the arched sanctuary to the final, intricate gold-leaf and wood-carved finishes.
