The chapel is an amenity for the Villas La Escondida hotel complex, located in a town called La Garza, Chiapas; an area focused mainly on agronomy. The religious project seeks to create a very direct connection with its users, starting from a 500-meter pedestrian path; the main intention of the Chapel being located at this distance lies in the experience of the journey to the same piece. “that it is in sight, but not at hand”, leaving a space for intimacy and privacy between the user and the higher being.
