A silence chapel in a modern church. The wall of the chapel consists of wooden slats in a metal frame. Because the slats are angled and the wall is curved the semi transparent wall gives you a little peek inside from some angles and is closed from others. The transparency changes constantly while you walk around the space. It results in an interesting play of shadows and light. These walls are arranged in the form of a snail house. The experience of walking into the spiral gives you a moment of transition before you enter this place of contemplation. Outside the chapel the wall continues and becomes a moveable room divider to create a more intimate space for smaller gatherings.
