Notre Dame de l'Arche d'Alliance

Church designed by Architectural Studio, completed in 1998.


The metal 'netting' which starts inside and extends outside of the church is supposed to provide a transition between the church and its urban environment. I don't buy it, but I liked the way the colors from the stained glass windows were reflected off the grid on the interior.

First time seeing a contemporary take on the stained glass window.


The church is held up on pillars to symbolize the ark of the covenant. Underneath and around the volume was a rather nice park where there were people relaxing, reading, and children playing.
