Contemporary architecture finds its place in the design for Holy Redeemer Church by Menis Arquitectos, shaped for a location in Tenerife.
From the Architects:
The environment is rather restrictive because of the topographical variation. A big entrance ramp surrounds and swings around the building in order to give access to the square and the first floor of the church. Since one of the most important elements within religious centres is light, the project is conceived so that the zenith light gives a mystic dimension to each room. The fundamental idea of the project is to design a visual reference within the urban landscape. These are conceived as large independent rocks (big concrete volumes), which characterize the whole project. Between these rocks there is a space that transforms into a “patio” with natural light and ventilation.
