Creating some private outdoor space for the residents of the redeveloped Church is no simple task. One of the developer’s proposals removes the roof from the sacristy (the lowest part of the building in the foreground).
This would allow the developer to create a landscaped private outdoor courtyard overlooking the future green core of the campus.
The big question is whether the Boston Landmarks commission will allow part of the sacristy roof to be removed.
Another proposed outdoor space creates a terrace between the two large smokestacks at the rear of the church.
