See the Video: https://vimeo.com/59497498Built into the hillside to preserve the cemetery's pastoral quality, this elegantly simple design quietly embraces the landscape while offering a contemplative interior experience. The 24,000-square-foot, two-level mausoleum includes six crypt rooms, six columbaria rooms, three family crypt rooms, committal room, and support spaces. Clad in rough-textured gray granite and white mosaic-marble, the mausoleum unfolds horizontally on its site within three smaller pods that recall the many family mausoleums throughout the historic cemetery. Inside, light filters through skylights and lantern-windows to strengthen the relationship between the spiritual and the earth-bound."[The] impeccably detailed glass-and-granite structure fuses with the landscape in a respectful, yet unconventional, take on the most permanent of all building types."--Architect magazine
