During the design process, we strived to highlight the uniqueness and virtue of the site without compromising the integrity of remembrance. With the redesign of the area, the cemetery can not only serve a public service function, but also play an aesthetic and physiological role in the life of visitors and inhabitants. Our primary goal in expanding and renovating the cemetery was to create a contemporary, well-functioning system in line with existing practices. The end result is a unified, representative setting that provides a worthy environment for remembrance.
We considered it essential that existing elements such as the building and the green space stay integral parts of the design. Applying transparency and purity to functions that make registration, reservation and everyday use easier, were key features of our methodology. We used seating, fixtures and materials that fit into the cemetery's ambience, provide a consistent image and are able to serve the habits of visitors and maintainers alike.
