The project for the mortuary chapels was based in the yard of the main church. From this, an area for the construction of the chapels was chosen with care not to interfere with the considerable heritage value of Espinho’s Main Church.
With a semicircular shape, suggesting a spiral movement, the chapels are reduced and reduce us to the essential. A singular geometry, a subtle play of light, and an invitation to reflection and communion seem to characterise this architectural space. The stone, the wood, the white and the light are just materials that shape the space and make us feel and think divine.

“Já as lustrais águas da noite me absolvem das muitas cores e das muitas formas.
Já no jardim as aves e os astros exaltam o regresso ansiado das antigas normas do sonho e da sobra.
Já a sombra selou os espelhos que copiam a ficção das coisas.
Melhor disse Goethe: o próximo afasta-se.
Essas palavras condensam todo o crepúsculo.
No jardim as rosas deixam de ser rosas e querem ser a Rosa.”
Jorge Luís Borges
