Project
A Temple in Karelia

Category
Best Project of Public Building or Facility

About the project (provided by the applicant)
The temple is designed in the ascetic style and features architectural traditions of the old Russian north churches and contemporary laconic framehouses. One of the design objectives was fitting the temple into the surrounding landscape, which was solved with the high pedestal finished with rough stone. It seems that the temple literally grows from the rock it stand on.
Thanks to the height difference, there will be a canteen in the basement floor. The facade has rock decorations and is faced with wooden planks to create a ventilated wall.
