This small family chapel in rural Austria has a white concrete shell and glass gable walls, allowing views right through the building to the rolling countryside beyond (+ slideshow).
Slabs of cast concrete form the floor, pitched roof and side walls of the chapel, while its glazed gables give the building a hollow appearance. The glass walls frame views of the vineyard and the forested slopes of nearby hills.
A bronze cross by Czech artist Jaromír Gargulák stands in front of one gable, while a pair of double doors that he also designed open from the other into a gravelled forecourt.
"The immaculate, smoothly formed white concrete provides this piece of architecture with a special, artificial-like aesthetics and purity," said Sacher.
