Through an informal forecourt, we arrive at a formal house. The architecture does not seek to evoke strong emotions or place pressure on the ceremony’s visitors. It is based on flawless operation without faux pas and on a simple, unobtrusive structure. It aims only to embrace, to calm, and not to stand in the way. Each experience is individual, as is the arrangement of the ceremony itself.

From the elevated foyer, we enter the main hall, which opens us toward nature and the orchard. The soul departs to the sky. We work subtly with basilican lighting and with the potential for varied atmospheres under artificial illumination. A calm and elegant rhythm of columns, together with the trees, creates a play of light and shadow.

The body returns to the earth. A black-and-white image of the deceased is projected onto a wall of rammed local earth, whose layering recalls orthogneiss and migmatite on which the hall stands. The entire building is covered with a green roof. The typology avoids association with any specific faith while integrating principles common to the major religions in our context.
