Before and After: The relocated baptistery at the Church of St. Stephen in Minneapolis, 2012. As part of a multi-step interior restoration, Matthew Alderman Studios suggested moving the font to its present location and also designed the decorative inlay around it, which stretches up the main aisle to the altar steps. The altar steps were also shortened from a more theatrical “thrust” arrangement, the altar moved into the apse, and the pews reoriented to face forward. Future renovations will continue the transformation of the interior. The second phase of the project, which we are currently working on, will feature new stained glass. MAS has been the design consultant on this project since 2010.
