The place of worship rises within a sacred area dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, near Seoul.
Designed by Mario Botta Architetti, the project saw Riva1920 create the altar, the seating for the presbytery area, the tabernacle, and the baptismal font of the church.
All elements were crafted from reclaimed, fragrant Lebanese cedar, worked in a slatted composition that echoes and enhances the building’s rigorous architectural geometries.
The church interior also features the CLESSIDRA stools by Riva1920, designed by Mario Botta, in perfect formal and material coherence with the overall architectural vision.
