Completed in 2013, this Interesting house project was erected in an open area next to an old historic building and surrounded by a stunning panoramic landscape of green lawns and majestic trees. The construction and engineering design of the building was undertaken by the craftsmen of Elliott & Company, and the design of the building was done by the experts of the bureau Irons Foulner in co-authorship with the George Berry & Partners.
The choice of materials and the silhouette of the temple was an important factor in the design of the structure, chosen to achieve the peaceful space needed for the congregation as well as to connect to its natural setting the garden near the townhouse and the city park outside the walls of the structure. Four Corten Steel timber columns support a curved roof of laminated oak beam over the altar and sanctuary space.
The interior has been decorated in an eccentric and unexpected style for this type of construction, which allows it to draw the close attention of visitors, parishioners and locals.
The welcoming entrance complements the decorating a home facade, it has an open and fresh exterior with clear panoramic glazing, allowing people to contemplate the fascinating and magnetic interior space from the street side. Two tree-shaped columns supporting the curved golden roof sit on the threshold. They accentuate the benevolent and aesthetically pleasing front entrance as well as decorate the exterior of the unusual temple.
The church is small and modest in size, which allows all visitors and parishioners to sit in a comfortable and very comfortable atmosphere. The structure of the building was made of monolithic blocks of beige color, which form the framework of the religious complex and provide excellent protection from wind and other adverse weather conditions.
Interior Design Consisting of a warm and welcoming color scheme with a mixture of golden highlights and glittering ornamental elements. The floor surface in the parlor and on the threshold was lined with light-colored stone slabs in textured relief to create a functional and practical decoration. The vaulted ceiling and interesting wall-mounted surfaces are also beautifully finished in this way.
The entire interior of the room has been outfitted with designer furniture in the form of light wooden benches with comfortable shelves for Bibles and places for kneeling, which form in the atmosphere a comfortable and disposed environment for prayer and services. The textured woodwork is beautifully integrated into the overall style of the space, adding a natural, unpretentious feel.

The Chapel St. Albert the Great by Simpson & Brown studio in Edinburgh, UK is truly a masterpiece of ultra-modern architecture. I am captivated by its unique design and aesthetic. However, I am curious to know what inspired the architects during the creation of this magnificent structure? How does it incorporate the essence of Edinburgh’s architectural heritage while still embracing a contemporary style?
