Chapel in progress



This is my first 1/4" model. Since the mid-project review, I've decided to change the floor plan and move the office to the back, as well as simplify some of the outer profile of the buildings more. I'm also considering having all the roofs, except for the chapel roof, lie flat so that the chapel stands out more.

Now that I've revised my floor plan, I am concentrating on figuring out the interior of the chapel and side chapel, the zen view, and beloved detail. For the chapel, I'm thinking of having a thick wall behind the stage with thin slits that run from the ground up to the ceiling and merge with the roof structure. I think the beams that slant up from the back to the front of the chapel will be a good leading line towards the stage.



I'm also considering adding a light well to the side chapel to let light fall in and illuminate the small stage at the front. My original idea was to have the front of the side chapel be all glass so that people sitting inside could look out and enjoy the view of the ocean, but if I combine this with the light well, the effect of the light well won't be as pronounced so I might need to rethink this.
