这座建筑的有机形式暗示着它周围的山脉。砖石砌成的实心墙，用简单的灰泥从入口扫过，在向内弯曲和集中在包含祭坛的半圆形尖顶上之前，会被扩宽到会中。屋顶向祭坛倾斜的浮动叶形向天空上升，进一步强调了这一方向的注意。

The building’s organic form alludes to the mountains that surround it. Solid walls of masonry dressed in simple plaster sweep from the entry, widening to embrace the congregation before curving inwards and focusing on the semi circular apse containing the altar. The floating leaf form of the roof inclined towards the altar rises skyward further emphasizing attention in this direction.

内部被自然照明照亮，通过一个狭窄的玻璃牧师丝带进入，随着它的进展，微妙地改变角度，以强调对祭坛的焦点。丝带的窗户让忠实的人可以看到周围的山脉。景观及其变化的情绪悄悄地作为服务的活生生的背景。

The interior is illuminated by natural lighting that enters through a narrow glazed clerestory ribbon that widens as it progresses towards the sanctuary subtly shifting angles to emphasise focus towards the altar. The ribbon windows offer the faithful a view of the surrounding mountains. The landscape and its changing moods are quietly present as a living backdrop to the service.
