It is a functional construction with a rational choice of materials, namely a concrete substructure that is partly clad with brick and partly with painted wall plates supported by a steel skeleton. Inside the church, volumes and heights are played with to create different atmospheres. Floor and ceiling slopes enhance the visual effect of the directed incidence of light and accentuate the central altar positionThe stained-glass window at the entrance depicts the Our Lady and Child (1993) and a Stations of the Cross (1998) by artist Harold Van de Perre from Dendermonde.
