Sheathed outside and inside with pine wood (for the facades it was artificially aged), the church is designed to remind of the ancient Norwegian stavers - not only with material, but also with the integrity of the form and its aspiration upward.
With a functional rectangular plan, the structure appears to be star-shaped due to the complex completion made up of the tower of the western façade (another reference to a tradition that is now common to all Western Christianity) and protruding as separate volumes of the nave and chapel ceilings.
The church is located in a moorland, on a hill overlooking the center of Knarvik. Notable from afar, it plays the role of not only the religious, but also the cultural center of the community: the architects initially envisioned the possibility of using it for a variety of meetings and concerts. The nave itself can be enlarged due to the "inner area" located on the west of the space with a staircase connecting the church hall on the second floor with the administrative and public premises below. If you move the glass doors between the "square" and the nave, the capacity of the temple will increase to 500 people.
