This single-story wooden building consists of a 9-meter-high chapel surrounded by a kindergarten building. The building is a freehand drawing of a slightly distorted oval plane. In the chapel, cedar wood of different thickness and length is used to create an uneven wall surface in order to dissipate sound. Most of the building is located at a distance of 3 m from the center line of the road in a quasi-fireproof zone, but where the eaves of the building partially touch the line of fire spread, fire prevention measures are taken with the groundwork.
