Adam Hermanson and his team at Integration Design sent this perspective view of the balcony over for us. This is a new view that you can only see here (for now). This view is from the middle of the church looking southwest.

Several things to notice here:
- The rose window at the back of the balcony.
- The shape of the balcony
- The clerestory (raised space with windows) above the main aisle
- The new treatment for the side windows
- The location of the prayer chapel (blue area just left of center).
Remember that no colors or finishes have been chosen yet, so the tones of the image are approximate.
Hi All;
I am really sorry I missed the town hall meeting. It appears that much was presented there. I like what I am seeing here on the blog.
My cruise when very well with my visit to the House of Mary in Ephesus and the chance to say a Rosary to Marilyn at the icon of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Santo Stefano d’Aveto, Italy.
It’s really nice!
I wish the stations of the Cross were not all grouped together as they seem to be in this picture. If we are to continue our great Soup and Stations tradition that’s going to be awkward. I think if the church is still supposed to feel like “home”, that means holding on to some of the traditions we have come to associate with HT- such as being able to face the Mary statue at the end of Daily Mass and walking the stations of the cross.
LOVE the windows as they look here.
Again, is there any increase in seating?

The good news is that the interior design is not completed. The stations on the drawing are an approximation, not a guarantee. The important things about this sketch are the architectural details, not the interior furnishings.
