The floors are stunning.

I really don't think this works for a spiritual space at all. The volumes are nice, but over all its just a little too aggressive.
The handrails in the 3rd and 4th shots are genius though. Love them.

An impressive presentation of simplicity that is mixed with artistic touches, the angled walls creates a very special experience, the wooden floor gives warmth and whiteness gives calmness. It is where simplicity finds it strength.

I'm considering renouncing Satan, apparently the collection plates passed around at Sunday masses are making a killing these days.
It's a beautiful design but, being a religious building to house one priest, it seems like a slap in the face to those in his/her community who don't have anywhere to live or are on the bones of their arses, struggling to raise a family 'the way God wants.'

things change when you start to put in furniture. the furniture will not tally with the angles and unwanted left over spaces will be unsightly. still the bold experiment of slanted geometry deserve a round of applause.
