CHAPEL OF SAINT BENEDICT
Peter Zumthor
Sumvitg. Grisons, Switzerland. 1989

This small church located in an idyllic village in the Swiss Alps is a sample of the exquisite sensitivity of this architect.
The accuracy of the woodwork and attention to detail serve to provide a place of retreat noted for its austerity and extreme formal simplicity.
