Evangelic Community Center

Berlin, Germany

The church and the Protestant community centre is a three-storey building on an elliptical ground plan. The basis for the geometric form is the “seed”, which will grow and bear fruit in the metaphorical sense. This idea can be found in the church interior, especially through the design of the ceiling in combination with daylight planning. The minimalistically designed interior draws both daylight and artificial light that compliments the shape of the ceiling, which floats as a shell over the church interior and gives the space a soft flowing light. Artificial light and daylight should result in an almost identical interior effect and promote contemplation in the church interior.
