Chosen Children Village Chapel
Completed 2008
Tagaytay, Philippines

CCV Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of a home environment for physically and mentally challenged children. The Foundation approached SAA to design a chapel for their community that would be buildable within a tight budget, responsive to the extreme climatic conditions of South East Asia and integrated with the landscape. We created a building consisting of two parts: one, a monolithic roof that creates a large public forecourt transforming two existing trees into architectural elements; two, a screen-like wall system built out of engineered bamboo that modulates light into the chapel.
