A wooden "chapel of silence" in Helsinki Bashny.Net

Residents and guests of the Finnish capital, looking for a little break from the hustle and bustle, you can just search for this in the "chapel of silence" Campi, built by the architectural firm K2S Architects in the southern part of the town centre. Its thick wooden walls without Windows protect from the street sounds, allowing visitors to pray in silence and to be alone with his thoughts. Not to resort to electric lighting, the architects made a semi-circular skylight in the roof that provides full daylight.
