Sacromonte is a landscape. It is a field of relational forces, of ancient intensity and new impulses that jointly create a new, unprecedented entity. Thus, nature, production, infrastructure and the palpable energy of the site configure a field of stimuli to be discovered; a field of experiences. In this particular setting, the Sacromonte Chapel finds its place among vineyards, lagoons, hills and shelters. Conceived as a landscape amplifier, it blends with its surroundings taking the sensorial experience of nature to a whole new level. Located in one of the highest and unobstructed places of Sacromonte, it can be seen from afar. The chapel started in a factory in Portugal. Once prefabricated in cross-laminated timber and steel, it was transported directly to the landscape of Sacromonte to be assembled in one day. Simple and austere, its design assumes the challenge of conveying a powerful message using the lowest amount of resources possible. Two 9x6 meter wooden planes rest subtly on one another but without touching. From this simple and unique gesture, a new enclosure is born. Neither closed nor completely open, it is a space in itself, but it is part of its environment at the same time. Inside, the planes try to protect and sanctify a small portion of the landscape but respectfully deny its confinement. Thus, the concepts of interior and exterior are diluted in a diffuse and ambiguous spatial experience. The chapel coexists harmoniously with nature, letting in winds and storms. In some way, there is a reminiscence of the most primitive of architectures. One that reunites humans, landscape and matter with the eternal.

薩克羅蒙特（Sacromonte）是一片美景之地，融合了相互聯繫的力量，充滿強烈的古老氣息以及嶄新的脈動，集結起來造就了新意十足、前所未見的整體景觀。由是之故，自然、生產、設施以及得以觸知的能量，讓這裡形成了令人驚喜與值得探查的場域，一處富含體驗的空間。在這片特別的場景中，薩克羅蒙特禮拜堂（Sacromonte Chapel）巍然立足於葡萄園、潟湖、山丘與遮蔽處之間，加強美化四周風景並融入其中，將大自然感官體驗提升至新的境地。禮拜堂座落於薩克羅蒙特的高處，視線不受掩蓋，讓遊人遠遠就能看見。禮拜堂的建造始於葡萄牙一座工廠。預先製造多層次實木結構積材與鋼材完成後，被直接送往薩克羅蒙特風景區，一天內就能組裝完成。其外觀設計簡約素樸，強力傳達運用最少資源的意念。兩片 9x6 公尺的木質平板巧妙地相互倚靠，但並未相連。如此簡潔獨特的姿態，圍出了全新空間，並非封閉也非完全開放，自成一體，又是整體環境的一部分。綜觀入內，兩片平板嘗試守護這一方之地並挹注神聖氛圍，同時卻也懷抱敬意地抹煞了禁閉感。因此，空間揉塑出隱晦模糊的感受，難以捉摸，抹淡了室內與戶外的界線。這座禮拜堂與自然融洽共存，任憑風雨吹襲。某種程度而言，此種設計展現的是建築最原始的面貌，是種懷舊，重新使人類、景觀與物質產生亙久綿延的聯繫。
