Coloma church

The base of the nave is a pure self-supporting structure: a three-dimensional steel frame in the shape of a rhombic grid pattern that refers to the ribbed vault of the existing church. The structure is covered with reflective double glazing on the outside and filtered with white translucent foil. This creates a mystic sacred atmosphere that adverts to the alabaster marble structure used in southern churches. A glass crystal is formed, like a contemporary version of the traditional stained glass. A double-access staircase is installed in the tower that revolves around a glass volume. Various functions such as the sacristy, catechesis and meeting rooms are accommodated in this volume. The chapel is implanted on the ground floor of the tower.
