The location of the construction site where the chapel is going to be built is on the Cemeteries of the Dol village in Gjakova, on a relatively flat terrain. The access to the chapel is achieved by following the 6 meter wide road that is specifically destined for the usage of the graveyard and the chapel. The positioning of the building fulfills the requirements for the best view which in this case is on the south-west. This creates better landscape for the viewers and also better enlightenment for the hall of the prayer. The entire sight is destined to be planted with plenty of vegetation. On the site is foreseen the design of pavements, pedestrian paths, several benches for siting and the space for outdoor ceremonies.
Since the very beginning of design, at the very first sketches the basic idea was to create volumes of contemporary architecture. While looking the latest trend in the country that is still keen on the outdated forms of sacred neoclassical architecture, such as neo-romanticism, neo-baroque or neo-Gothic, the investor and architects decided to accept a modern approach towards architecture while distancing them-self from the eclectic architectural tendencies. The whole concept of design was to create a modern functional building that would fit perfectly in the green and prairie surroundings. The building would require some conditions to fulfill such as the functionality, harmony, aesthetics and stability. All these elements combined create a structure that intersects sculptural, rational and contemporary values. The need of expanding the modern waves of style in the country were one of the main reasons for the choosing the particular style. The main goal of the designers was to create a powerful architectural sculpture whose exterior redefines its surroundings, while the interior helps experience deeper feelings and emotions.
The form is derived from a simple geometrical rectangular shape that enables maximal usage and functionality. The building consists of two main parts. The first one is the praying hall with altar. Inside praying hall includes also the coffin chamber for temporary storing the coffin. The second part is the vertical bell-tower that emphasizes the spiritual concept towards the heavens.
The cross formed from the subtraction of the volumes of one of the faces of the bell tower enables to distinguish the Christian graveyard.
The natural lighting in this building consists of some openings in the ceiling that penetrate directly into the altar, and the side lighting made of several windows varying in shapes and dimensions that represent all saints and souls of everyone that rest in the graveyard. The light symbolizes the souls of the deceased and while light transmits warmness, the people who attend the ceremonies will get the symbolic light and warmness from the rays of the windows. Also behind the altar rises a huge engraved Cross at the inclined wall that also enables some rays of natural light that create a divine feeling at the people who attend the ceremonies. The facades are very simple of clean straight lines and create a very unique form in the architecture of sacred buildings. The white color is selected to represent the purity of the soul and while also it becomes a reference point and easily distinguished from the relatively green surrounding.
The building contains main
hall, the chamber for the deceased, the wardrobe for the priest, toilet and a storage room. It has two entrances, the main one at the front of the chapel and the second auxiliary entrance for the priest and the casket allowing access directly at the coffin chamber.
The capacity of the praying hall is around 75-80 people. The altar is high above the floor for 1 stair higher to get the proper attention from the audience. From the altar the priest has direct access to wardrobe. Also the casket may be transported from the coffin chamber directly at the altar. The storage room serves for storing different tool for maintenance of the building and cemeteries. The entire interior furniture is made of wood, while traditional St. Joseph being a carpenter.
Construction and Materials
The constructive system is a simple and widely spread column construction from reinforced concrete that rest on the concrete foundations. Also the beams of the ceiling are from reinforced concrete. The roof is from concrete and the covering is made of corrugated tin roof colored in white color, or with sandwich panels (Aluminum Composite Panel).
The outer walls are made of silicate blocks XELLA with dimensions 25cm covered with thermal-facade from the outside (5cm compressed Styrofoam N IV) and painted in white color. On the inside are plastered and painted in white.
The inner walls are also masonry walls with silicate blocks with thickens varying from 10-20 cm. The entire walls are smothered and painted with white color. The chamber with high humidity (toilets and storage) are covered in ceramics.
The floor is made of different material, varying from the destination and definition of space. The flooring in the Praying Hall and the Coffin Chamber are from the warm materials mainly parquet or laminate, while the other spaces are covered with ceramics.
The all floor was previously, leveled, smoothed and covered in hydro and thermal isolation layers. The main entrance has a artificial granite flooring
The ceilings are plastered, smothered and colored in white paint.
The interior doors are from the dry wood that are varnished with Sadolin wood care products and sprayed.
The Outer doors are from oak tree with natural tone, protected from rot and varnished with Sadolin wood care products and sprayed.
The windows are manufactured from qualitative white plastic with double glass window panes separated by an air or other gas filled space to reduce heat transfer.
The entire materials are ecological with low level emissions, with none of the negative effects on environment and none level of pollution.
