The vast blue sky, mountain range, valleys, and hillside farms create a majestic landscape setting for the St. Catherine Labouré Church Hall. Situated within a Catholic Retreat Complex, in Sarangan Village, the dream is to create a multipurpose hall for community gatherings, weddings, and a space to contemplate the beauty of the surrounding landscape. A building that will be in harmony with its natural surroundings. The Church Hall with a capacity of 200 people sits between a gap in the east-facing hillside and Domus Mariae Chapel.
The design approach is to remain modest, to blend in and integrate into the existing Chapel and Retreat Complex. To maintain a certain balance, the Church Hall was made horizontally oriented to complement the vertically oriented Chapel. To maintain hierarchy, the roof of the Church Hall was designed parallel to the main floor of the Chapel. The roof serves as a sightseeing platform accessible from the Chapel.
Geometric forms and dominant strong lines are carried off, but contrary to the vertically dashing Chapel, the Church Hall feels thin and light. At the entrance, overlooking the retreat complex, a timber screen cantilever levitates. The composition of the facade with the playfulness of light and shadow act as an open embrace that invites visitors in.
The interior is designed to be simple and humble, highlighting the immersive surrounding which draws the visitor’s awareness toward God’s creation. Clear glass walls throughout the buildings were used to keep indoor activities as comfortable as possible while maintaining the natural background intact, given the occasionally strong mountain breeze. The 180-degree view, overlooking the south-eastern mountains and valleys, is achieved by placing solid walls mainly on the western side of the building. Natural wood elements on the columns, walls, and furniture are needed to maintain the impression of a warm tone.
Locating the public restroom in front of the building makes it easy to access. Designed to be eye-catching, the idea is to put a white textured curved mass as if it’s sticking out of the building. Privacy is maintained by a solid wall, with a curved skylight served as a surprise element. The visitor may experience the playfulness of natural light, shadow, and the tone of the restroom that changes throughout the day.
The choice of materials were important factors to achieve peacefulness and to allow the building to blend into its natural setting. Local materials such as teak wood were used throughout the building. The choice of color aims to match the neighboring Chapel. The entire retreat complex feels warm as a whole.
