The Mantle Chapel
A shelter for one, a sanctuary for many
The design responds to the unique challenge of creating a space that feels equally intimate for a single visitor and for a full congregation. Architecture evokes the sensation of being sheltered by a protective and light mantle allowing the space to balance presence and openness.

Wood and stone give the chapel warmth and a sense of grounding, while carefully considered lighting brings a gentle balance of light and shadow, creating a calm and welcoming space.
The chapel feels intimate for quiet reflection, yet open enough to accommodate a full congregation, offering a peaceful, flexible space for both solitude and community
