Situated on the beautiful site of Luofu Mountain, the architecture of this church echoes the organicity and fluidity of mountain and water. Inspired by the form of seed, the church space is enclosed by three curvilinear wall elements. The north wall is thicken to house washroom facilities. The west wall is remained solid to block the western sun. A cross shape opening is carved out on the east wall to introduce morning sun into the church. The roof of the building gradually steps up and form a viewing terrace on the highest point of the church. North - facing skylights formed by the stepping roof enable diffused daylight into the interior.
