Open Chapel / Christoph Hesse Architects
Briefly

The 'Open Chapel' stands as a powerful symbol of collaboration, designed through a grassroots process led by local residents to embody diverse community aspirations.
The chapel's twelve sandstone pillars define an open space, providing panoramic views, reinforcing its relationship with the natural environment and inviting reflection.
By incorporating communicative seating arrangements, the chapel fosters dialogue and serves as both a meditative retreat and a vibrant gathering place for the community.
With its roof of hanging plants and wood-chip floor, the chapel blurs the boundaries between architecture and nature, reflecting its philosophy of integration.
