FUNERAL HOME
This architectural competition gave us an opportunity to explore the notion of architectural sacredness. Working with light and shadow, a sense of space and place and exploring the power of materiality.
The design is based on 3 spatial layers and their cross-fade. The main ceremony hall is located in the heart of the composition. By limiting the connection with the exterior world in the main ceremony hall we aim to create space for the last farewell and personal meditation.
The surrounding garden is a play of paths and flowery patches with the most beautiful flowers of Czech meadows.
"The black-wood churches are the traditional landmarks of the area."
