A prime example of THINK NATURE design.

A building that natural Analogues addresses organic, non-living and indirect evocations of nature.

A green, zero carbon emission building.

The building is a religion centre, but of a different kind. Is a centre where all religions are welcome.

The design was based on the division of spaces to pray and interaction areas. The pray areas are directly connected with the religions, while the interactive areas welcome all visitors.

All the areas are interchangeable through a flowing movement (graduation of space; from large spaces to smaller and vice versa) and connected with each other.

A democratic building, a building that welcomes everyone, connects the people and brings them together under one roof.

Internal and external atriums are used as interaction areas for the visitors. The highest point is the iconic tower which works as a point of reference for the surrounding district.

The Centre of Peace and Religion in Battersea is the first competition Debbie Flevotomou Architects participated in and their design won first place. The project was featured on the Architects Journal.  

The brief was to design a building where different religions would be able to co-exist harmoniously and visitors would be able to interact with each other under the same roof.  

The design appears abstract, monumental and sculptural like a piece of art. Internally, the interaction of light contributes as an important design factor.

Historically the indirect light has been widely used in spiritual spaces. In this case, the building has glass roofs.

The internal areas are bright and atmospheric. Trees and internal gardens contribute to the relaxation and comfort of the visitors, directly connected with the Biophilic concept of: nature in space.

The building is using:

IOT system Passive solar techniques Greywater Electrohomic glass 3D printed structure Super insulated structure Cross ventilation Maximization of natural daylight Night cooling Recycled timber
