Text description provided by the architects. The volume of the new building is strikingly divided into a transparent ground floor zone and the overlying closed roof volume with six juxtaposed gable roofs. Floor to ceiling glass façade elements with single panes measuring up to 2.80 x 4.80 m on the ground floor span between the outside square surface and the upper floor volume. In addition, ceiling-high doors, some of which double-wing, complete the transparent space partition. In summer, these can be opened by 180 degrees for parish and community festivals; thus, connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.
