I believe it is essential to give the chapel its own individuality without changing the layout of the parish church, a distinct individuality regardless of the side one looks at it, by creating a new chapel detached from the rest of the imposing building, so that the architecture creates a separate, intimate and unobtrusive interior, which at the same time is unexpected and original with respect to the context. In addition, the building enclosure should have a strong evocative value.

The entrance to the chapel is a sort of tunnel portal, as bare and narrow as the entrance to a catacomb, acoustically insulated and initially with no light, so as to build anticipation for the mystical place people are about to enter.
