The Design Chapel is a multidisciplinary design studio which creates inspired works in the fields of Interior Design, Architecture and Art. Estonia, Netherlands and Sweden had between 70% and 80% of young adults classifying themselves as non-religious. 1.

All great Christian churches have been ships of the soul, with their naves – from “navis”, meaning ship – symbolising the voyage of a community of souls.

The concept of the nave as a ship sets the tone for this building and is followed through in all aspects of the design from its elliptical floor plan to the glulam beams and lattice work The materials used in the chapel all come from a similar earthly brown tonal palette and although offer little in colourful contrast provide a varied composition from soft woods to a rough stone and under the sun deliver a warm calming feel. The Chapel borrows many ideas from the Baroque when we look at churches designed in that style the use of the oval is very prevalent in its layout but concealed in a traditional cruciform structure whereas our Chapel is explicit in its use.
