An elongated building volume is positioned along the northern edge of the site. Its stepped massing responds to the surrounding context and integrates into the existing fabric. Toward Poststrasse, the building presents itself as a single-storey structure, rising to four storeys at its center, and tapering to two storeys toward the east.
The address of the church is marked by a bell tower within the single-storey courtyard. The new building is conceived as a catalyst for public life, bringing together community, cultural functions, and senior living into a cohesive whole. A generous, park-like open space to the south reinforces this collective use and supports social interaction.
