In the last months of 2016, the Suvela Chapel was completed and inaugurated in Espoo, a city just west of Helsinki, Finland. Designed by the architecture firm OOPEAA’s principal Anssi Lassila, the aim was to provide a hub for the culturally diverse neighbourhood, and a venue for both religious and community events.

Cladding the entirety of the exterior are shimmering, multi-tonal copper panels, chosen for their sustainable credentials and to emphasise the unity of the building’s varied volume. The building is a hybrid structure with timber elements as well as concrete and steel.

Timber is used predominantly in the tall chapel hall on the walls and underside of the roof, which are covered in spruce panels textured with ridges for improved acoustic quality.

The building wraps into a single U-shaped volume forming an intimate interior courtyard in the centre. A large roof angles up to match the height of surrounding buildings. The main chapel is located at the northeast end of the building, directly accessed via a main entrance. The smallest part of the building comprises the parish facilities, while the southwest wing contains community services including a soup kitchen.

The chapel was one of four projects shortlisted for the 2016 Finlandia Prize, recognising the best new buildings in Finland or having been designed by a Finnish architect. OOPEAA won this prize in 2015, but missed out in 2016.
