AN ETHEREAL, LUMINOUSLY WHITE slip of a thing, the latest architectural addition to the Doxa Deo Church campus could not be more diametrically opposed to the buxom, blocky facebrick buildings that it shares a plot of land with. But, according to NEO Architects’ Dries Verbeek and Phoebe van Dyk, the little chapel is anachronistic by design.
“The former AGS church and adminper se,” says Dries. “The client commissioned a chapel that would pay homage to the early Christian buildings of the Roman era, but we took a shot and sent him references of more contemporary styles. Luckily, he loved them.”
