This shape is designed with curved surface to harmonize with the limitation line for privacy line by the road, an oval canopy of church faces front entrance directly and an exposed-concrete wall of church. The perforated plate that covers the mass on the front road becomes an image of the building. The light from the inside diffuses to outside faintly through the perforated plate and act as an 'architectural lamp'. The name of 'Light House' is given through the image of architectural lamp.
