Malmi Church, Helsinki

Kristian Gullichsen designed the Malmin kirkko in Helsinki, completed in 1981. Pervasive red brick is balanced with soft wood materials on the furniture and ceilings. The influence of Alvar Aalto can be seen in the vast cavernous interiors and carefully planned daylighting. The textile work emphasizes the change of color by season of the year. A procession through the church is also carefully planned out, with a stone wall surrounding the church and a series of courtyards inside.
