The journey of life, from birth to death, is like everything in the universe. Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, the universe and Nature are endless.
This design intends to make the journey of the grieving person as peaceful and quiet as possible, with the integration of elements from Nature that are the foundation of life and help soothe the pain the user is feeling.
The way through the landscape trail to the entrance of the complex is followed by greenery and it extends all the way to the inner courtyard of the building and then vertically to the terraces on each floor.
The spaces are carefully designed, and the materials are chosen in order to create specific ambiance that suit the delicate moment.
The bamboo leaves from the atrium form a shadow, by the movement of the breeze and reflect the sunshine. The light on both sides of the patio is filtered through the fine grid, making the interior room light soft. The skylight of the patio overflows into the lounge with the warmth and softness of the wood.
