维伦洛斯当地的福音派教会教堂参与了2011年设计大赛的招标，要新建一个社区中心，为其日益增长的社区成员提供空间。社区中心计划建于墓地的北部，靠近公路，最终建在了墓地里面，和周围的环境和谐共融。社区的成员举止小心，避免伤害死者的亲属。在施工开始之前，仍有六十个坟墓在施工区，所以，建筑师小心翼翼地把这些坟墓转移到公共墓地中。维伦洛斯福音派归正会的新社区中心建成后，大家都比较满意，外观、颜色都符合教堂建筑的风格，结构和材料也有自己的特点，不会破坏墓地宁静的氛围。中心采用了预制木材，可以优化结构，整体的施工进度很快。中心采用木质和铜外观，属于自然老化的材料，随着时间的推移外观也会发生变化。多功能的社区中心布局合理，一层有教区办公室、会议室、社会福利组织和秘书办公室，设施齐全。顶层有两个公共房间，大小不一，可以开展多种活动。

From the architect. To provide space for its growing community of members, the Evangelical Reformed church of Würenlos tendered a limited design competition in 2011 for a new community centre. The projected location was a field to the north of the cemetery, between the church building and the adjoining cantonal road. This specification was ultimately disregarded and the new building constructed within the cemetery compound, between the existing burial plots, as this allowed a more harmonious integration with the surrounding environment.

A respectful and sensitive approach to the project, in which the members of the community always had a voice, made it possible to use a closed section of the cemetery for the building without causing distress to the relatives of the deceased. Before the start of construction work, the remains from sixty old graves in the closed section were carefully exhumed and reburied in a communal grave.

The new community centre of the Evangelical Reformed church of Würenlos blends well with its immediate context and forms a satisfying addition to the overall ensemble. While its contours and colours conform to the church building, its structure and materials assert an independent character without disrupting the tranquil atmosphere of the cemetery. The structure consists of prefabricated timber elements made to measure in the factory to optimize the building process; the topping-out ceremony took place only a few days after beginning the above-ground part of the construction.

The building’s skin consists of wood and copper which, as naturally ageing materials, will change their appearance over time. Its interior organization conforms to the various functions of a community centre. The ground floor houses the parish office, a conference room, the social welfare organization, and the secretary’s office – in other words, the facilities that are used every day. The upper storey offers two communal rooms of different sizes that provide space for events.
