St. Martin's Church in Hanover
The altar area is illuminated by two walls of windows with lightweight steel frames, bathed in the brightest light, while the nave receives more subdued, medium light. Construction: The ceiling is a reinforced concrete truss structure with infill panels of Brazilian pine, stained light and dark. Gable walls are constructed of sandblasted, matte red brick; eaves walls are made of precast concrete blocks with special insulation; the surface is finished in exposed aggregate concrete. Double glazing is installed in the rabbets of the blocks (see drawing). A band of glass between the eaves walls and the ceiling visually separates the ceiling from the walls.
