Toti Semerano has created a meditation space, the Stella Maris, in a chapel and cloister in a residential area designed for disabled guests and their families. the project is in a very beautiful natural setting with a thick and deep pine forest that also overlooks the Adriatic Sea. It is built in stone, whose surface is made with a special grinding process that makes the joints disappear and whose effect seems to be excavated in huge blocks of stone.

Through the movable walls of the chapel, with deliberately limited size, but not in height, the chapel itself can be expanded by incorporating the halls of a meeting space: a meditative space that, on certain occasions becomes a liturgical space of considerable capacity. The stone becomes the protagonist, the high walls seems to be dug in a single block because worked with a particular technique which cancels at all the joints between the blocks while making the surface vibratile under the light. 

For internal and external flooring, as well as for some external cladding,Architects has been chosen a type of stone, Santafiora stone, not only for its color but also for the possibility to realize a wide range of surface treatments. The outcome is a variety of shades of a single color that considerably damp the impact of the built for its degree of harmonization with the surroundings.
