A House of Worship '' Catholic Church''

The church will become a local avenue for gathering and faith throughout the week. The project aims to be inviting all people and also to be inspiring wothy place for gathering that shows respect for the christian faith and people. 
The church is for 80 people and it is planned to establish close contact between the congregants and the altar. It is therefore arranged with an open sanctuary covered with the highest point of the church where the skylight is. A cry chapel adjacent to the sanctuary permits parents with enfants and toddlers to observe worship services without disturbing the congregation.
The connection between the church and the house allows continous indoor circulation to all parts of the complex.
As walking within the gathering space, the worshipers would be able to see a series of pictures depicting Christ carrying the cross to his crucifixion ‘ The station of the cross’. The object of this is to make a spirtual pilgrimage of prayer, through meditating upon the chief scenses of Christ’s suffering and death.
Gardens seem to have the ability to relax people. The thinking recognised at the heart of the Christianit, there are life, light and peace. The garden at the heart of the church represents these points where the plants, birds and nature are all constant evidence of the creator.
 
The gathering place is lit with natural light that streams through the skylight which represents the glory of God as the upper light is the sensation of the upper power of the creator.
