Chapel

NORTH EAST BRAZIL 2003

The Chapel is for a very small village in the Northeast of Brazil, the space project has an asymmetrical gable roof, built with a wooden structure and exposed tiles. The space is large to accommodate people even around the altar; during celebration the open doors under the portico create a continuity between the inside and  the outside.

The arcaded sunniest facades protect from heat, while the opposite ones have small openings that allow a suggestive passage of light to create  air ventilation of the environment.
