Aarhus Crematorium Chapel

We visited the Aarhus Crematorium Chapel by Henning Larsen.

 

The building was all made of a light colored concrete and the entry was through a glass box on the side of the chapel.

 

The main chapel space had a beautiful skylight in the center which created a moody, dim atmosphere of mourning and reflection while also referencing the idea of hope and light from above.

 

The door was a rich, warm, metal and the chairs were delicate semi-circles.

 

If walls could dream… they’d dream of standing under this skylight forever.
