The first stage of the discussed sacred architecture complex which consists of: a church with a chapel, vicarage, a school with a gymnasium (which is also providing multipurpose space) and charity facilities. The aim is to create spaces integrating the inhabitants and allowing for their bonding. The linear disposition of the buildings at the plot results in a cascade-like distribution of functional programme, in balance with culture and nature. Brick and stone walls are connected by means of squares, courtyards, atria and cul-de-sacs. Modern connections of concrete and glass, as well as white limestone create the aura of mysticism that is still in keeping with the contemporary language of architecture.
