Chapel Section
A glass room
is blown from a court carved in the top of the basalt cliff overlooking
the Bay. The glass vessel is blown as a double walled shell with
an insulating vacuum space within the walls. A single wooden bench
circles the floor and looks out to the horizon line of the water
through a vertical opening cut in the rock face. The chapel itself
is crowned with a wooden roof as the rock itself is crowned with
the forest. Rainwater from the roof and court are directed to a
thin trough cut in the floor, out the vertical opening in the cliff
face and down to the ocean. When lit at night or on the often foggy
days the room would become a softly glowing lantern rising up out
of the rock.
