这是一个小礼拜堂，仅服务于一群特殊的访客——Missionário Pio Sociedade de São Paulo学院兄弟会的成员。项目的设计基于如下几个原则：它应该位于众多住户的中心；它是祈祷和交流的空间；它是相对私密的也是集体共有的。

This is a chapel, or a small church, built in a particular house for particular people – the brotherhood of Instituto Missionário Pio Sociedade de São Paulo. The project brief is based on principles that don’t necessarily concur: it should be the central area for a house of many homes; a space for prayer and for communication; a place of intimacy as well as assembly.

这座献给耶稣的教堂，位于里斯本郊外Apelação的Quinta Rainha dos Apóstolos。这一地区充满田园风情，可以俯瞰Tagus河宽阔的河谷，建立于1970年代的学院就坐落在这里。学院已有的建筑包括两座4层高的楼房，原本被用作仓库。这也是教堂所在的位置，同时也是城镇的中心，人们生活、工作的地方离它很近。教堂因此被视为学院的中心，无论地理还是象征意义上。它为兄弟会的成员提供联络情感之地外，还通过公开的宣教来将福音散播到社区当中。

The chapel, consecrated to Jesus Master, sits within Quinta Rainha dos Apóstolos, in Apelação, on the outskirts of Lisbon. This is a rural plot, overlooking a broad valley open to the river Tagus, where the Institute has been located since the 1970s. The existing complex includes a pair of long 4-storey blocks sitting on a ground-floor podium, originally used as a warehouse. This was the area chosen to locate the chapel, taking advantage of its central position in relation to the spaces where to live, to work, to welcome and to pray. The chapel therefore operates as the heart of the Institute, both physically and symbolically; it provides the link between members of the brotherhood and reaches the wider lay community through their publishing/ missionary activities.

项目重新利用原有建筑并赋予它新的意义。教堂的设计朴素而严谨，体量简洁有力、自然光的运用纯洁而神圣，建筑材料的使用内敛而稳重。混凝土结构被保留，外表有些粗糙却不突兀。主房间被设计成为一个宽敞明亮的整体，没有过多的人工痕迹和装饰：只有一张有绘有耶稣的背景墙，用以告知和加强空间宗教和神学的氛围

The project reuses the existing building and aims to provide it with a new meaning; this is done through a process of austere and rigorous designing, which relies on the simplicity of volumes, natural lighting and inherent qualities of proposed materials. The concrete structure is retained, bare and imperfect but suitable nevertheless, and somehow up-lifted by the new context. The room is revealed as a whole and wide space, without artifice or excess: a backdrop for the liturgical fittings to enhance and impart with a sacred and theological sense.
