Chapel in Rwanda is a finalist competition entry by Alex Tintea Sevak Asatrián and Andrés Pastrana for Young Architects Competitions in 2019. It is located in Rukomo Rwanda in a forest setting. Its scale is extrasmall with a surface of 90 sqm. Key material is concrete. Review the 8 proposals for the same competition.

Located on top of the hill, finding its way among the trees, the chapel is placed looking towards the valley. The geometry is the result of the combination of two slightly shifted squares. Completing the full geometry, the space in front of the building is kept open for people to gather. The only opening is the entrance. Inside, the space is wider as one goes towards the altar. At the back of the altar, the building opens creating a natural view towards the valley. An earthy tone is used for the materiality of the building itself and the furniture inside is made of wood.
