We think in a reference in a new development area. A singular church, that links tradition and modernity, integrated in the site, but also a meeting place that improves the quality of the public space. Outside, the building is white. Inside the big volumes get the light from the gaps in the facade and from the skylights. The wood helps in order to give warmth to the building inside.

The access to the building, receivs the different flows, from all the parts of the suburb, as well as an access to vehicles from Luis Braille street, between the housing blocks.


In a second phase, new circles, will fill the program and dialoging with the different uses of the buildings around, housing, offices, etc…

The idea borns from the concept of circle, so present in the catholic symbolism. 


The plant of the first sanctuaries was a circle. 


The circle is the perfect geometric element, who represents the celeste.


The circle is identified with the eternity, because has no start and no ending.


 The circle represents the world of fortune too.


The round dome is the house of God in heaven
