Side aisle with stained glass and ceiling detail

Side aisles mediate. Glazing paints intimacy; ceilings demonstrate engineering.

🔆 Balance

  • Light: Colored fields for small chapels.
  • Structure: Clear ribs and panels.
  • Use: Quiet devotions.

🪟 Details

  • Chapels: Focused themes.
  • Windows: Smaller panes narrate.
  • Ceilings: Low vaults embrace.

Side aisle

Small spaces speak softly.
