Calvinist Churches, 5 types

These “type designs” present a whole series of church buildings tailored to the diverse requirements of rural communities. The assembly hall, designed to accommodate approximately fifty people, was conceived by the architect so that it could also function as a cultural center or a classroom. Proposals include churches intended for both small and large villages.

Each drawing reiterates compositional solutions already familiar from the architect’s earlier works. The most unusual is the design for a small brick or stone church whose tower spans the full width of the building. Every scheme takes into account a range of readily available building materials: the assembly hall, for example, could be constructed of stone, brick, adobe, or timber.
