20. St. Andrews The goal of St. Andrews was to extend their inner santuary space into their backlot. A Columbarium was the main purpose of the space. Rain gardens were also be implemented. A Before B During C After 1 D After 2 E After 3 F After 4 G After 5 H After 6
21. St. Andrews With a 12’ grade difference and existing drain pipes to work around, large walls were created to support the pavement and create the spaces. Many footings were buried for future columbarium expansion. A Before B During C After 1 D After 2 E After 3 F After 4 G After 5 H After 6
22. Green space was added amongst the plantings to meet both the open and intimate goals of the church. Space was left open in the planting beds for the future addition of sculptures. A Before B During C After 1 D After 2 E After 3 F After 4 G After 5 H After 6 St. Andrews
