We made it a point to remove the barriers between the priest and the worshippers. Why should there be any?, we thought. By placing them all on the same level, we saved construction costs and created a safer space, where invalids and elderly could gingerly walk around without a concern. To accomodate for short priests, we factored in a step-up to his little atrium. 


The old chapel was under the driveway. Reason why the roof seems to slope down to a neck-cranking degree. Prayers then had to rise to heaven by first passing through concrete, asphalt and a last layer of smoke-belching cars.

A few more angles. The severed crosses caused quite a stir with the local parish. We had to be adamant that they were merely random shapes inserted there for ventilation, which was really their purpose. Ultimately, people see what they want to -or prefer not to- in anything you design.
