The chapel designed by architect Sean Godsell resembles a tall, narrow tower inspired by the bell towers of Venice. This unique structure can open or close, featuring a metal framework supported by four steel pillars. Externally, it is clad in narrow panels of a special material, zinc-titanium laminate. The lower part of the chapel can open on all sides using a piston system that lifts the doors, forming canopies. When all doors are open, the cross shape can be seen from above. The upper part remains open, allowing light to illuminate the altar with a golden glow, intensified by ochre-colored interior surfaces. Outside the chapel, benches made from old mooring posts provide seating. Sean Godsell designed this chapel not only as a place for religious functions but also as a space showcasing the beauty of the surrounding area.
