The church grounds are bordered by a double colonnade, an accumulation of small squares. This grid is continued in the precast concrete structure of the church itself, whose principal spaces are organized along the diagonal. A forecourt on the corner provides access to a circular central area lit by a tall rectangular rooflight. In this main church space, the chancel is illuminated through partly coloured glass. Slits of fenestration in the walls and roof emphasize the square planning grid.
