Bishop Edward King Chapel, Theological chapel in Cuddesdon, United Kingdom

The elliptical stone chapel features a series of arched timber columns that support a wooden roof with clerestory windows allowing natural light inside.

Niall McLaughlin Architects designed this building in 2009 to replace a smaller nineteenth-century chapel at Ripon Theological College in Oxfordshire.

The architectural design draws from the word nave in Seamus Heaney's poetry, representing both a central gathering space and a ship structure.

The chapel serves students of Ripon Theological College and the Sisters of St John the Baptist with separate areas for services and private contemplation.

Tree-like timber columns form an internal latticed canopy, creating an ambulatory path that encircles the central worship space beneath the clerestory windows.
