The Site on the outskirts of the city was exceptionally impressive with red soil.
A small achromatic chapel was built against the backdrop of oak and bamboo forests.
The whole form is the simple basic volume of the square.
Each side has a depth and forms layers, giving it a rich three-dimensional feeling.
Exposed concrete and black bricks were selected to give a simple and frugal image.
It was applied to the outer wall and the inner wall to give visual unity.
The worship room was finished in a wood tone, so it was planned calmly and warmly. It is decorated with light that permeates through the front and side skylights.
I hoped that this chapel would be a space of silence to speak to the Creator alone, and a space of calmness to help pray and meditate.
In this age of fancy and loud self-exaggeration, I hope it will be a simple and calm place of worship.
