- The North square (“Church Parvis“), mineral open space planted with some character trees and opened to the city;
- The Garden (North-East area of the Churchyard), planted with attractive colourful trees, flowers and flower meadow.
- The Churchyard Green, to the South of the church, large and generous lawn surrounded with benches and opened to the surrounding local communities.The Churchyard is gently transformed to offer a flexible communal space and fluidity for pedestrian movements across and around the Church.More projects
