Text description provided by the architects. The church is situated on the top of a small crest with large pine trees and some exposed rock.
Geometrically speaking the church is an addition to the existing ground, no blasting and excavation was necessary except carefully removing the thin layer of soil. This technique, among other things, makes it easier to preserve the existing vegetation and topography, thereby adding a dimension to the experience of the building.
