The structure is characterized by an altar in the middle, towards which the architectural lines, and for the upward momentum, enhanced by beautiful wooden beams of the roof. The plant has a square shape, with main axis on the diagonal. The resulting volumes are three and ideally divide the space into three naves: a central whose sailing coverage culminating in the bell tower and two side coverage at a lower level than sailing's one. The cover consists of a large covered outside laminated wood beams from copper plates. When viewed from above, it reminds Piazza del Campo in Siena that is said that it has been inspired by the blanket that covered the Holy Virgin. Outside the church has a narthex brick split-view in two large arms to represent the embrace of God to the Church community. Inside the classroom has a single nave, this encourages participation in the celebrations of the whole assembly. The church has a capacity of about 450 people to sit and possible other 150 standing. The presbytery is wide and suitably raised from the classroom floor by four steps The curved walls that surround it, creating a continuity from the altar to the nave, between celebrant and congregation.<ref name="chiesa" />
===The floor===
inThe pavingfloor emphasizes the connection path between inputthe entrance and the altar. The design, created by Antonio Teruzzi, is a stylized tree. The leaves are made with the technique of the sown, the trunk instead is made with pieces of marble tiles. The tree is a thick figure of symbolic meanings: it refers to a life that transcends time and space of man. The tree trunk on the surface of the earth, the roots in the ground and in the sky, the branches. This symbolically takes up the salvation-historical time path from the Creation to the coming of Christ, with the intent of making the entrance-altar journey as a passage from darkness to light. Teruzzi was assisted by Dr. Luigi Beretta for the collection of biblical references. Along the tree-trunk the stages or periods of the history of salvation are represented. Each stage or day of history is marked by a stone. At the base appears a continuous line, without interruption, in dark colors and dotted with tiny bright flashes (few golden mosaic tiles). is the primordial chaos which preceded the Creation when the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the abyss (darkness and disorder: white tiles), but already the spirit (the flashes of light: clear tiles) hovered over the waters (Gen. . 1:29). The creation is marked by stones 7 (numbered from 1 to 7 with simple marble tiles 1 = I 2 = II) one for each day. On each stone it is symbolized with enamel technique, the work of God in that day as written in Genesis. After the Creation are remembered the 10 generations (I to IIIIIIIIII) Cycle from Adam to Noah and 10 generations from Noah to Abraham. Each group is made with different shades of color of the marble tiles, on which are marked at the most salient character names from which generations are named. So we read the names of Adam, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah and then David, Solomon and finally Mary and Joseph. The generations from Adam to Jesus are linked along the axis of the shaft by a continuous sinusoidal curve, similar to a spiral. The mosaic is in reddish hues. Jacob began to widen the branches: 12 branches to mark his 12 children, after Jacob, all become (and after them all the components of each of the 12 tribes), without distinction, owners, heirs of the promise of a land , a descent of a Messiah.[[File:Pavimentazione chiesa san carlo.JPG|thumb|Particolare del pavimento della chiesa di San Carlo di Brugherio]]
