The Chapel of Wat Mahasawat Bhuddaram, Nakornpathom

The concept design for this chapel is preserving beauty of the traditional Thai architecture. However, the original material for construction, likes wood, is replaced by concrete and steel for lasting longer. By this new material of construction, it allows a huge space in the basement which is turned to be a multipurpose hall. Inside the chapel, the main hall provides space for sacred ceremonies. Outside the chapel, the main hall is surrounded by square terrace with small pavilions at each corner to give shade for relaxing and studying Buddha’s sermon. The roof decorative is unique by using a stainless steel cut into small pieces as a mosaic technique, instead of colour glass. It gives a massive reflection to the sun and very durable.
