“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” — John Muir
The crematorium is designed as a quiet, reflective landscape rather than a conventional building. The focus is on the relationship between land, trees, and movement—creating a calm environment that supports the emotional journey of those visiting.
The site is divided into two zones: one for cremation, and the other for contemplation and remembrance. A series of linear pathways connect these zones, guiding visitors gradually through the space.
Along the paths, there are small gathering points—places to pause, reflect, and say goodbye. These are integrated into the landscape with sensitivity, using natural materials and planting to maintain a sense of peace and respect.
The cremation area is marked by vertical elements like chimneys, placed carefully within the landscape to create a strong but respectful presence. As visitors move forward, they are gently led into a green, open space designed for quiet thought and healing.
This crematorium is designed not just as a place for rituals, but as a healing journey through landscape.
