This new build wooden church was commissioned by the Holy See of Rome for the Belarusian Diaspora Community in London. It has been designed to serve as a reminder of the traumatic loss of a great number of rural settlements in the country throughout the 20th century.  

The design draws inspiration from the rural wooden churches in Belarus and aims to combine their traditional architectural language with contemporary building technologies and concepts. The materials palette was restricted to wood and glass to reflect the austere and tranquil beauty of traditional wooden churches.
