OOPEAA于2012年开始设计和规划Suvela教堂和附近的社区公园。我们的目标是创建一座具有自身强烈特性的建筑，同时也与其郊区社区的多元文化环境进行对话。由于大约三分之一的居民是外国后裔，苏维拉是赫尔辛基大都会地区中最多文化的地区之一。文化多样性既是一种丰富的潜力，也是对社会的一种挑战。在设计Suvela礼拜堂和邻近的社区公园时，目的是创造一座建筑，为各种活动提供机会，并为居民提供一个框架，使他们能够在灵活的适应性和功能性的空间中聚集一堂。

OOPEAA embarked on the design and planning for the Suvela Chapel and the nearby community park in 2012. The goal was to create a building that has a strong identity of its own while also entering in dialogue with the multicultural context of its suburban neighborhood. With roughly one third of the inhabitants being of foreign descent, Suvela is one of the most multicultural districts in the Helsinki metropolitan region. Cultural diversity is both a rich potential and a challenge to the community. In the design for the Suvela Chapel and the adjacent community park, the goal was to create a building that offers opportunities for a rich variety of activities and provides a framework for the residents to come together in a flexibly adaptable and functional space.

由于芬兰漫长、黑暗和寒冷的冬天，公共室内空间作为人们聚集在芬兰的场所发挥着重要作用。公共建筑，如学校和图书馆，以及教堂和礼拜堂都提供对所有人开放的空间。提供学校、图书馆和教堂作为人们可以在共同空间的共同点上聚集一堂的场所，深深植根于芬兰的文化传统。这些建筑物作为公民发起的各种活动的平台，从而通过协作和共同工作和享受生活来促进思想交流。它们旨在包括公共空间，提供地方社区可举行会议和活动，并可在日常活动和特殊场合聚集在一起的各种活动。Suvela教堂是这一传统的一部分，在这一传统中，教堂建筑和礼拜堂为多种功能提供了一个框架，也为社区的人们提供了一个聚会的场所。

Due to the relatively long, dark, and cold winters, communal indoor spaces play an important role as places for people to gather in Finland. Public buildings, such as schools and libraries, as well as churches and chapels offer spaces that are open to all. Providing schools, libraries and churches as places where people can come together on the common ground of a shared space has deep roots in the cultural tradition of Finland. These buildings serve as platforms for a variety of activities initiated by the citizens, thereby facilitating the exchange of ideas through collaboration and working and enjoying life together. They are designed to include communal spaces that offer places where local communities may hold meetings and events and where they can come together around various activities, both in the everyday as well as for special occasions. The Suvela Chapel is part of this tradition in which the architecture of church buildings and chapels offers a framework for a multiplicity of functions and a place for people of the community to come together.

小礼拜堂提供了一个平易近人的欢迎空间，有着人性化的规模和诱人的氛围。该建筑具有多种功能，为许多不同类型的组织提供了一个基地，并形成了一个充满活力的活动场所。它首先是一个为教区成员和社区其他群体服务的聚会场所。

The chapel offers an approachable and welcoming space with a human scale and an inviting atmosphere. The building serves many functions providing a home base for many different kinds of organizations and forming as a dynamic place of activity. It is first and foremost a meeting place that serves members of the parish and other groups of people in the community alike.

当地社区公园及其服务是该建筑物的三个主要使用者之一，为儿童和他们的父母提供了以各种方式使用该空间的机会。为放学后的儿童提供午后护理，并为年幼儿童提供日托服务。有供青年使用的空间，也有供各地方社区俱乐部用于其活动的空间。该大楼为教区雇员提供办公空间，并提供社会工作者和家庭服务，以帮助人们满足其生活中的各种需要。

The local community park with its services is one of the three principal users of the building offering the children and their parents an opportunity to use the space in various ways. There is afternoon care for children after school as well as day care services for younger children. There are spaces for the youth as well as spaces for the various local community clubs to use for their activities. The building offers office space for the employees of the parish as well as for social workers and family services provided for helping people in their various needs in their lives.

此外，一间以极低成本提供食物的汤厨亦在该处所运作。礼拜堂自然也是弥撒、音乐会、婚礼、葬礼和洗礼的场所。建筑物不同部分的各种功能的位置可以从外部识别。虽然建筑物的高度因礼拜堂是最高的部分而有很大差异，但所有的功能都只放在一层，建筑被包裹成一个单一的U形实体，在中间形成一个亲密的内部庭院。钟楼被嵌入主建筑的体积，提供进一步关闭的院子。

A soup kitchen providing food for a very low cost is operating in the premises as well. The chapel naturally also serves as a place for mass, concerts, weddings, funerals, and baptizings. The location of the various functions in the different parts of the building is identifiable from the outside. While the height of the building varies greatly with the chapel hall as the tallest part, all functions are placed on just one level, and the building wraps into a single U-shaped entity forming an intimate interior courtyard in the middle. The belfry is embedded in the main building volume providing further closure to the yard.

建筑中的不同功能围绕着内部庭院进行定向。正门放置在一个角落，在那里，U形建筑向庭院开放，主礼拜堂及其辅助空间位于建筑的东北部分。教区工作人员的办公室和工作空间以及额外的会议和小组工作空间位于U形卷的中间部分。儿童和青年的空间以及出租给城市服务社区公园的空间位于建筑的西部。大部分室内空间面向庭院，而社区公园占用的空间则向外面向公园。

The different functions in the building orient themselves around the inner courtyard. The main entrance is placed in a corner where the U-shaped building opens to the courtyard, The main chapel hall with its auxiliary spaces is located in the north-east part of the building. Offices and work spaces of the parish staff as well as additional meeting and group work spaces are located in the middle part of the U-shaped volume. Spaces for children and the youth as well as spaces that are rented out to the city to serve the community park are located in the west part of the building. While the majority of the interior spaces face the yard, the spaces occupied by the community park face outward to the park.

这座建筑是一种混合结构，既有木制的，也有混凝土和钢的。一种触觉的材料感，无论是在内部还是在建筑的外部，都有一种刻意强烈的存在。外壳完全包覆铜，强调建筑体积变化的统一性。铜是外观材料的生态选择。它既耐用又可回收，因此是可持续的。随着时间的推移，它也变老了，并获得了美丽的帕蒂纳。本地云杉是室内使用的材料。在儿童活动的空间里，室外的檐篷里也有木头，这些檐篷提供了避雨的地方，让孩子们有机会在外面玩，即使在下雨的天气里也是如此。在高大的礼拜堂里，木头的存在最为突出，那里的墙壁上覆盖着木制的鳞片。

The building is a hybrid structure with wooden as well as concrete and steel elements. A tactile sense of material has a deliberately strong presence both in the interiors as well in the exterior of the building. The exterior shell is entirely clad in copper to emphasize the unity of the varied volume of the building. Copper was an ecological choice of material for the exterior. It is both durable and recyclable and therefore sustainable. It also ages well and acquires a beautiful patina over time. Local spruce is the material used in the interiors. In the spaces for the children’s activities, wood is present also in the outdoor canopies that provide shelter from rain giving the children an opportunity to play outside even in rainy weather. The presence of wood is most prominent in the tall chapel hall where the walls are covered with wooden scantlings.
