New built church

The church is situated in Orstad, a small village 25km south of Stavanger. The expression and design relates to the west coast landscape in the southern part of Norway. In this region, the terrain is a medley of open flat planes and hills.

The building is placed into the ground with a green roof, expressing an extension of the beautiful scenery around it. The roof is a continuous slope in two directions.

The composition of white triangular shapes and the combination of vertical and horizontal structures has a strong sacral and modern expression. The church is a non-traditional church in every way and a future-oriented building with tomorrow's solutions in terms of technique, light, sound and audiovisual solutions.

In 2009, the church won the award for best accessibility for people with disabilities.
