Basilica of Saint Patrick's Old Cathedral

New York, NY

Rohn Design completed a high-definition architectural survey and developed a comprehensive master plan for the renovation of this treasured National Historic Landmark.

Our scope included interior decoration, sacred art, liturgical furniture design, and both new and restored statuary. Using advanced scanning technology, we assessed structural conditions and created a detailed plan that honors the basilica’s original Neo-Gothic character while addressing the needs of today’s liturgical life.

We designed a new altar and tabernacle throne, restored the carved reredos, Stations of the Cross, and baptismal font, and created a chapel to Our Lady of Altagracia. The sanctuary, sacristy, and gathering space were updated to support reverent worship while preserving architectural integrity. In the catacombs below, we introduced a columbarium, reviving a historic tradition and expanding burial options for the faithful.
