Canopy Chapel

This structure is conceived as a singular timber volume, formed through a continuous curved shell that rises directly from the terrain. The elongated arch defines both roof and wall, creating a sheltered interior framed by a full-height glazed façade. Elevated decking projects outward, extending the internal volume into the landscape without additional structural clutter. The proposal is entirely conceptual, exploring expressive timber form within a steep, forested context.
