A Chapel that integrates the landscape, becoming part of it. The search of the light is the concept behind the volume form. The interior space of the chapel it was created to be closed for the landscape, becoming it as an introspection space.
In opposite, the sacristy opens up to the landscape creating not only a meditation room, but also a contemplation space. “There is a crack in everything that´s how the light gets in” Cohen. Source by Joaquim Portela Arquitetos.
