Nyenga chapel, located within a 75-acre eco-resort in Buikwe District near Jinja, Uganda, is envisioned as a serene sanctuary that harmonizes with its rocky woodland setting and tropical climate. Designed with simplicity, intimacy, and spiritual calm, it will use locally sourced materials such as eucalyptus timber, stone, and textured concrete to minimize environmental impact. Large timber glazing and perforated jali brick walls invite daylight and airflow, while timber trusses and wooden pews foster reverence and reflection. Positioned to face the Jinja Bridge, the chapel will seat at least 150 people for retreats and weddings, embodying the resort’s ethos of rustic, technology-free, nature-connected experiences.
