Caesura was a sumbission to the 2019 ARKxSITE Site Chapel competition, to create a chapel on the historical Pessegueiro Island

Caesura begins by referencing the unique historical and geographic character of Pessegueiro Island. It reflects and builds upon an island thoroughly worked by man and weather, drawing lines from the site’s rugged maritime bearing to inform its geometry and material.

The coastline, dominated by rocky cliffs and exposed quarry-stone demands commensurate sheerness of form and forcefulness of material: a monolithic, yet dynamic figure.
