The loss, empathy and contemplation.

A Funerary Parlour is proposed to function as a “box of emotions”. Commonly Funerary Parlours are cold, empty and emotionless spaces. Most providers of funerary services forget the function of surrounding and protecting the vulnerability of people during the particular circumstance of loss. Also they are spaces isolated from the exterior.
The main purpose of the box is to generate different atmospheres that embrace the users through textures, colours and light... gardens, patios, skylights and windows create unique atmospheres to make grieving people never feel alone.
