The White Chapel | Danny Cheng
Location: Hong Kong

Hong Kong architect Danny Cheng&rsquo;s new project for Discovery Bay rises from an enveloping reflecting pool like a mirage. The White Chapel deserves its name, because in order to give a reading of unity and purity, the designers made every single surface of the chapel&rsquo;s interior a brilliant white.
With an overall form reminiscent of the US Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel, the Hong Kong project juts up in a series of A-frames, a pyramid of white before a back drop of mountain, sea, and sky.
Of course, it&rsquo;s easy to be elegant when you&rsquo;re sticking with one color, but the use of form and views prevents this project from being boring. Far from it, it&rsquo;s one of the most dynamic uses of white since the heady days of the New York Five. More photos after the jump!
