Inside the headquarters of the Pontifical University of Salamanca there is a chapel for daily use. The intervention starts with the firm decision to perform a discrete action to not stand out against what is really important in this holy and sacred space. Above the vaulted open space we place the new chapel formed by a piece of natural stone that does not touch the walls of the building, as with respect, in which all the spaces are carved.
