Chapel of Life
Xinhui, Jiangmen China
By Joshua LAU + Will WONG
Completion 2018
 
The Chapel of Life and the wellness farm is a missionary project initiated by Will WONG in collaboratin with Joshua LAU/OPUX to create a facility for well-being and spiritual experience in Xinhui, where people from the city would find this place a retreat, surrounded by tranquil natural environment and organic farm. The design of the building implies the crucifix as the road towards God and Heaven, where the main building consists of ancillary facilities as well as dining hall connected out to one end a personal bamboo contemplation space and open chapel where prayers extents towards the water pond that irrigates the crops on this land. The open chapel is designed as a half-pavilion-half-building to provide an experience connected with nature, constructed of two cubic spaces, with one turned 45 degrees forming the main chapel space as well as four contemplation spaces at the edges, and reduced into a frame and four walls construction, a space that is abstract, surreal and undefined.
