Regardez Rustic Minimalism: Junquillos Chapel






This remote chapel in the countryside of Southern Chile, by Claudio Baladron and Diego Grass. It is a wooden barn structure over a concrete platform with corrugated metal cladding in the outside and pine boards in the inside.It only contains 100 chairs, lectern, altar, virgin figure and a cross. I find this rustic minimalism to be so beautiful! Mass is once a month, community activities every evening. Both happen in this same space.
