Reference Project
The Dodecagon, also known as TINY CHURCH, is Nordhavn's newest and perhaps smallest building. A temporary structure that serves as the neighborhood's spiritual gathering place. With its mere 76 square meters and twelve-sided shape (a symbol of the twelve disciples), the church stands not only as a spiritual gathering place for the district's residents, but also as a beautiful, material-conscious addition to the architecture of an ever-expanding district.
The awareness that the church is being built in a rapidly developing modern district is reflected both in the architecture of the building and in its function in the community. Although the church will naturally host Sunday services and Christian ceremonies such as baptisms, weddings, and funerals, space has also been made for meditative sound baths and other less traditional spiritual activities that embrace the diverse demographics of the neighborhood.
With a twelve-sided altar in the center, designed by the architect himself, the traditional structure of the church has been abandoned. Above the altar, you can look directly up at the sky through the twelve-sided skylight centered in the roof. With donations from TONI Copenhagen, Dinesen, and Bleo Collective, among others, a material and color palette has been created that appears both modern and classic at the same time. Everything from the deep red tones of the heavy curtains between the columns to the cool, metallic shades of the silver paint, the Chrome fixtures, Chrome the Greenlandic marble in the center of the floor testifies to an extremely high degree of material awareness.
