{Tend to only post residential/retail/hotel projects, but I’m sharing two churches today… no particular reason, other than I think they’re beautiful spaces and inspired projects. This one isn’t a new project but I’ve been drawing inspiration from it for a retail project actually.} Smooth, minimalist, organic, seductive, harmonious, futuristic… These are just some of the words which come to mind when looking at the images of St Hilaire Church designed by Paris based Mathieu Lehanneur. These words are not exactly the type I would usually associate with architecture of religious buildings, but you see – there’s always a first for everything. Mathieu has created a space which sits comfortably somewhere between the past, the present and the future, where tradition and technology interact, and the original and the new exist in perfect harmony – alabaster amber and original sandstone look like a match made in heaven. The result is unexpected, almost bizarre, yet it feels really comfortable, natural, ceremonial and – above all – very beautiful.via -- source link
