S.O.M. does it again

Inside an urban Cathedral in Oakland California. This may or may not be germane but the access to the doors at the rear of the church is rather hidden. As I approached the back of the church to enter a Hispanic  American Asked me in Spanish "where is the doors so that I can go in?"
Once inside the stunning use of wood is an experience. The use of common material (i.e. concrete) brings the design down to earth.

It is interesting that the building is on a raised platform visible from the parks turned away from the water and entering from the office buildings site of the complex. remarkable from the outside and in for the technical application of light and material.
