This amazingly beautiful 100-year-old chapel take my breath away.........!!!!!!!!!!
Located in the Dutch city of Utrecht, was designed to meet the needs of an order of Catholic monks. Once Zecc Architects’s Marnix van der Meer had laid out the various spaces, he faced the challenge of lighting them.
All the existing windows were leaded glass, not exactly a good sources of daylight. Instead of simply inserting clear glass, he says he painted the walls the “whitest white we could find.” Now, the windows festoon the interior with colorful images that travel as the sun moves through the sky. “We actually intensified the windows’ effect,” he says.
