Perched on a small hill, the building is situated in the area surrounding a gas station, next to a large post that advertises fast food. Its immaculately white shapes, faceted and kept close to the ground, shoot up at both ends where the two skylights are, creating forms that serve as a landmark for drivers. A bridge stretching over an inexistent moat marks the transition between the generic exterior and the sacred interior, a space with a surprisingly symmetrical square floor plan wrapped in a structure whose wooden warmth strikes a contrast with the coldness of the enclosure. Closely following the liturgy, all attention is drawn towards the altar, which takes up a chamber of its own and is clad in white, framed by the last arc of the timber vault and bathed in the natural light coming in through one of the two skylights.
