Chapel
Sainte Germaine, Paris
In 1935-1936 Dom
Bellot constructs a chapel for the "Asile des soers hospitalières du Sacré
Choeur de Jésus" , rue Desnouettes in Paris. The Asile is a nursing home for physical and
mentally disabled female adults. It is a simple chapel, on the outside made of
only one coloured layer of red brick under the gutter Ath the end the building
contains the sanctuary and the sacristy. The front of the chapel connects to
the corridor of the main building.

At the
inside we see stained glass windows, fetched in concrete, walls with bricks in different
colours and a concrete ceiling. At least, it looks like concrete... Actually it
is a canvas-like material. Probably the roof is supported by steel frames,
stretched by this canvas, so it appears to be concrete. The coloms are
connected to the outside walls and support the ceiling. The sanctuary only has
small windows at the sides. The sacristy is located behind the sanctuary.
