The landscape design for Novena Church centres upon two main spaces, the Landscape Forecourt between the existing Church and the new building and the Sanctuary Garden surrounding the new building.
The sequence of progression from the existing Church accessible to the public, transitioning to a new precinct that is essentially private, meant that the landscape had to cater to the challenge of creating subtle and aesthetic barriers that would define and control pedestrian movement without walls or fences.
The private Sanctuary Garden landscape beyond the new building negotiates the terrain in a series of designed terraces to make usable steeply sloping ground corresponding to the internal accommodation program of the architecture while creating its own symbolic meanings derived and interpreted from universally held Christian religious beliefs of the triumvirate as the under-pinning for the design layout and expression.
