The design

of this small oratory in South Africa aims to root it aesthetically with the place it is located and create a welcoming space that invites us to prayer. The color palette, for example, is based on the warm colors of the nature of the South African Savannah. In line with the architecture of the building, the interior renovation has been inspired by the interior designs of an American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, which combine modernity, tradition and consideration of natural setting of buildings with welcome results.A large painting of the Adoration of the Magi in an idealized realistic style, 
dominates the altarpiece. On the sides of the sanctuary and adapting to the frame formed by the architecture are two reliefs dedicated to St. Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer and Blessed Álvaro del Portillo.
