Small Chapel, Infinite Horizon.
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

Date : December 2025

Project focus : Chapel

 

Beneath the vast sky of Ouagadougou, where the ochre earth meets the infinite azure, a slender silhouette rises—like a breath suspended in the heat of the Sahel.

This chapel is not a monument, but a refuge. It is a hand extended to childhood, a shelter of brick and wood born from the dust and human ingenuity. Its earthen walls, anchored in ancestral soil, speak of the land's strength, while its airy roof seems to float, capturing the breeze to offer children the caress of a rediscovered coolness.

Here, architecture becomes silence. The steady rhythm of the columns plays with the light, carving shadows into fragments of peace. Between the brick walls and the void of the desert, boundaries dissolve: the gaze wanders, inviting the soul to travel far beyond the walls, toward that endless horizon where everything becomes possible.

It is a place of prayer, play, and dreams, where human humility dialogues with the grandeur of the world. A sanctuary of serenity, simply resting on the sand, so that every child may find their own star.
