Serene...

Who would have imagined that this is a funeral chapel!
Situated in Vaantaa, Finland by Helsinki based Avanto Architects.
Chapel of St. Lawrence is a space in the right path with its architecture.

The building is a steel and in-situ concrete construction with a copper roof and slate flooring.

Spaces are extremely serene and it is design with the idea of mourners in mine and being sensitive to the experience that they are going through.

With its carefully selected materials, the chapel is intended to last 200 years.
