Incredible Chapel in South Africa Looks Ready for Takeoff

Architecture

Steyn-Studio-Bosjes-Chapel-moss-and-fog1

Looking like it’s ready to take off to heaven, this chapel in South Africa is one of the most beautiful architectural forms we’ve seen in a while. Created by TV3 Architects, the Bosjes Chapel has a curvaceous roof that swoops down to form the walls themselves. Placed on the edge of a reflecting pool, overlooking the gorgeous African plains, even the non-religious might find themselves feeling spiritual in this inspired space. Really beautiful work.

NYC’s Highline was an undisputed winner when it opened, giving people a great elevated perspective on the city. In the same manner, Cape Town’s Kirstenbosch Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway is making waves. Built just above tree canopy level, this beautifully winding walkway takes visitors through the enormous botanic garden in a truly stunning manner. Also allowing wheelchair access, the canopy walkway is a great addition to the park. Via TwistedSifter:
