Abstract


This church is beautifully integrated in the landscape, including the villalle which has retained its old time style. The building has room for 200 worshippers on the higher level, and below there are facilities for meetings, classrooms, a sacristy, coatroom, services, etc. The spectator is attracted by the shape of the tower and the roof. Fibrocement has been used as roofing material, and also as surfacing for some of the outer walls. Untreated concrete, timber and subtle illumination have contributed to create a suitable atmosphere for meditation inside the church.
