House of Prayer for Brethren, Czech Republic
Litomyšl Religious Building – design by Fránek Architects
3 Jul 2013
Litomyšl Church
Design: Fránek Architects
Location: Litomyšl, Czech Republic
Czech Church Building
The designed building represents usage both ancient and modern architectural principles in a simple concept that uses proportions of the terrain and transformation of principles of various classical cultures.
The building, although small in size reaches -all above the earth- and a symbolic route runs into a distance. By setting the building deeper into the ground an optimum acoustic comfort is reached while the volume of the building remains at its minimum.
The exterior was designed to resist vandalism: transparent coating on fair-face concrete, wired glass and fine latticing. The interior is designed to provide comfortable homely atmosphere for a small community. It is simple and it should be made up with plants.
The operation of the church and the centre corresponds with the requirements of the customer. The construction is made of traditional fair-face reinforced concrete, brick walls, wood lagging, and dry stone lining.
