Plaus Church, Plaus in the Vinschgau valley
The new building forms a harmonious ensemble with the historic church and the expanded cemetery. The ceilings and walls of the new church were coated with the Brillux silicate system, which meets both the technical requirements and the desired aesthetic appearance.
The wood of the benches and doors sets warm color accents and harmonizes with the reddish brown tone of the natural stone floor. In addition, the way the light falls gives the room a special atmosphere. The architects also integrated a skylight dome into the flat roof above the altar. In order to reinforce the symbolism of gazing toward heaven, the dome was embellished with a golden border. This gives the impression that the ceiling is suspended. The glass cross on the altar wall, designed by Plausan artist Evelyn Kuppelwieser, also connects to the skylight dome, thanks to its color gradient ranging from golden yellow to orange and red to blue. Dimmable LED lights accentuate the walls and create a solemn atmosphere. The acoustic walls ensure that speech can be understood clearly and blend in perfectly with the look thanks to their high-quality, dull matt appearance.
