John Pawson
Monastery of Our Lady of Novy Dvur
Bohemia
Scheduled completion 2008

Following completion of the cloister, this second major phase of the Novy Dvur project creates a self-contained complex of accommodation for visiting priests and the families of the community within an existing vaulted sheep-byre. Once finished, the new architecture will allow the monastery to honour certain obligations of hospitality with minimal disruption to the community’s daily life of prayer and work.
 
Meanwhile, in the monastery's church, work advances on the installation of the organ.
