Cathedral of the Holy Cross

Architects designed a comprehensive renovation to bring new life and light to Boston’s 144-year old Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Relying on a 3D digital model and historical photos, they restored/lightened interior finishes, reconfigured the sanctuary platforms to project the altar closer to congregants, redesigned interior/exterior lighting to improve visibility and drama, integrated modern infrastructural and ADA improvements, and created new liturgical appointments to match original reredos. Completed in time for Palm Sunday 2019, the church once again shines as a beacon to the community.
