Steinhausen Funeral Chapel

Saying goodbye to someone you love is an emotional moment that requires a meaningful atmosphere. To this end, the design of the cubic space confers all of its strength to the interior. A sky made of acrylic glass rods scatters the incoming daylight and fosters a devotional mood. Shimmering, warm artificial light additionally comes from behind the overlapping wood panels to fill the facade with light.
