At left one can see (as in the previous image) the addition
of a gypsum shelf that is used to hide some can lights to
throw light down along the walls to the floor. This is done
in a similar way as the entry, tying the inside and outside
together, albeit in a subtle way. What remains is the appropriateness
of the design to its function as a place for contemplation
and prayer. The curved walls seem to embrace, an obvious allusion
to St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, while the slots allow
light to penetrate, relieving the spaces of any claustrophobia
while alluding to a "place beyond".
