Conceived as a communal gathering place, the project is organized around a central plaza that becomes the heart of the ensemble. Two buildings frame and activate this shared ground: one, larger in scale, dedicated to religious celebration; the other, more discreet, with a social and playful vocation, functioning as an open tribune facing the plaza. Together, they give rise to a lively public space where daily activities and ritual moments can intertwine naturally.

The form of the ensemble emerges from a shared gesture: a spherical subtraction carved from the center of the plaza, imprinting a gentle concavity onto the terrain and both buildings. This hollowed-out void creates an intimate, almost amphitheatrical common space, while allowing the roofs to extend the site’s vegetated topography, becoming natural seating terraces that reinforce the public and flexible character of the project. Thus, church and tribune do not stand in opposition; they curve towards one another, recognizing themselves as parts of a single communal landscape... READ MORE..READ MORE

The project takes advantage of the length of the site to unfold horizontally and blur the threshold between architecture and garden. Instead of partitioning functions, it proposes a continuous sequence of spaces that distributes encounters, ensures autonomy between activities, and allows each area to find its own rhythm. The shorter edges of the site host more delicate programs —such as the vegetable garden and flower garden— while the longer edges structure the accesses, generate small plazas, and extend interior uses outward. A perimeter path encircles and stitches the ensemble into a free-flowing circuit, inviting unprescribed movement and multiple forms of public appropriation.

In plan, the church is organized under a principle of flexibility. The main nave operates as an adaptable hall, capable of reorienting itself according to the liturgy, the scale of the event, or the temporality of the gathering. Perpendicular axes allow different spatial orientations, while a system of mobile panels makes it possible to integrate or separate adjacent rooms such as the parish hall, workshops for youth and children, outdoor plazas, or even the balconies in the choir mezzanine...READ MORE

The architecture, therefore, does not dictate a single way of congregating: it offers a permeable framework in which the community may decide how to inhabit, expand, or transform it.
