Abstract
Spread from northwest to southeast, the complex stands on a patchwork of lawns in the centre of a new suburb inspired by the garden city ideal. With a total length of almost 52 metres, the complex consists of a low elongated section to the rear for the hall, a pair of offices, the sacristy and the waiting room for the baptismal congregation. Shed roofs made of zinc crown the whitewashed masonry walls. Bowing slightly, they slope towards the front; only one of them has a double undulation that sets it apart as the church and centre of the building.
