Snostrup Church
Renovation and reinterpretation of a romanesque church
In respect for the historical building and with consideration towards current users, the old church was reinterpreted by bringing together past elements and present aspects. As one of the core components, a large-scale version of a classic renaissance tile was specifically designed and composed in various patterns. Furthermore, the work consists of the development of a new colour palette and rearrangement of the historical interior, along with a geometric glass mosaic in the tower window. By merging various materials and their tactility, it is the intention that the space is able to instil contemplation and presence in a contemporary context.
In collaboration with Leif Hansen Arkitekter
