Church KGK Immanuelkirche, Cologne

Using modest resources and a simple design language, Sauerbruch Hutton realised the new Immanuel Church in Cologne-Stammheim. The campanile provides a striking architectural feature in the streetscape. The bell tower, church and prayer chapel are clad in diagonal timber formwork made from Siberian larch. A weathering glaze ensures a uniform façade appearance.
