Basilica of Saint Patrick's Old Cathedral
Renovation, including Liturgical Design, Furnishings, Sacred Art & Statues
New York, NY

Rohn Design completed a high-definition architectural survey and developed a comprehensive liturgical design and church renovation master plan for the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, a treasured National Historic Landmark.

​

Our scope included interior decoration, sacred and liturgical art, liturgical furnishings, 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; introduced a new new Our Lady of China statue; 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.
