When searching for an architectural form, we were faced with the task of ensuring that a simple and unassuming building, appropriate to its purpose, would appear fitting in the vicinity of administrative buildings of a completely different scale. Even at that time, the smallest building on the site, the Brumlovka wellness club, is a much larger structure. As a means of reconciling with the scale of the surrounding buildings, we found an expansive format of a single "window" into the pronaos, an exterior covered space before the entrance. Its horizontal proportions are directly derived from the elementary prism of the entire object, which is similarly horizontal. The window is the main motif of the northern facade as well as the entire building; figures of people passing by or standing behind it are partially shielded from the urban hustle and bustle by a bamboo hedge screen.
The heart of the building is the hall - this is where the core life of the church occurs - services, baptisms, and other ceremonies. The hall is also open to other activities - concerts, lectures, etc. A balcony is inserted into its space, accessible from the first floor of the foyer. The prayer hall needs different amounts of daylight for certain programs, which is provided by a triangular skylight in the roof and a large window at the front.
Another function of the house is activities and courses for the public. These take place in clubrooms designed around the two-storey foyer in front of the hall. A separate part of the building consists of a kindergarten on both floors of the structure and the pastor's apartment.
The basic white color of the building transitions into the pronaos into a light travertine pavement, which continues further into the interior of the foyer. Light-toned colors then carry through into the prayer hall, presented in the flooring, acoustic panels, and furniture made of light beech wood.
