The land is uneven or contoured,so the building is supported by several concrete pillars as solution to ensure a level floor. Wood materials dominate the building's cladding, such as Walls,doors,windows and Wood gives the impression of natural.

The interior of a place of worship, located on a plateau,does not require artificial ventilation. But maximizes the cool mountain air entering the room through perforated Wood carvings for natural air circulation.

Light appears between the ceilings, making the interior more aesthetic.
