MAIN GESTURE
The church nave is placed as a direct extension of the main street axis. Opposite the town hall, the two buildings form a new plaza with a continuous green park as a backdrop. The church, along with the new urban and recreational space, redefine the identity of Sola.

THE NAVE
The nave is designed as a symmetrical space providing a calm and balanced experience. Louvred windows cover the gabled roof allowing ambient light to filter through and fill the sacred space.

Status
The church is taking shape at the moment. The indoor wooden decoration and the smooth floor in the nave are already built and only need the last touch.
The church is expected to be finished by the end of 2020.
