Via a casually designed forecourt, you are led through a covered entrance into the anteroom, from where you are diverted at the end and led from behind into the open, upward-striving chapel room.
The Resurrection Chapel, located in the extension of an old gravel pit, defines a new meeting place through its location. A concrete bracket facing the slope forms the distinctive conclusion of the local topography and defines the address of the chapel.
Through its reduction to construction and materiality, this ceates an atmosphere that hides everyday life and thus invites you to pause.
At the top, the space-defining walls dissolve in their construction and, in combination with the vertical facade structure, the horizontal slats in the interior and the incidence of light, create a sacred atmosphere and unmistakable identity.
The use of natural materials (larch and spruce wood) in combination with pointed concrete gives the chapel an unmistakable appearance.
