The architectural design was intended as a translucent nine-petal flower.

The architects had two main objectives: first, to present the temple as a source of light demonstrated by the translucent materials. The second was to create a soft and warmly lit interior space ideal for meditation and prayer.

We created the main interior lighting from the mezzanine benches which produced a silhouette effect on the marble petals and revealed their complex shapes.
