a grey color palette has been used all the way through to strengthen the minimalist and clean nature
characterized as an exposed concrete slab, this is supported by a series of tree-shaped metal pillars- formed in homage to the trees that were cut down for the urban re-purposing of the area. a single oak tree remains, incorporated within the structure where an opening has been cut to allow the foliage to emerge through the roof. 
the pavilion sits adjacent to the burial ground and serves as a place for mourning and eulogies
the staggered, northern side of the building symbolizes ‘a man who comes from dust and to dust returns’, this has influenced the line of concrete, beginning from the ground and ascending to the highest point then back to the earth.
access to the pavilion is through two separate entrances. the smaller of the two is allocated for the family members of the deceased meanwhile the other, serves as an access for the guests attending. the scheme is contemporary and sensitive response to its function. while being fully opened on both sides, this arrangement instills a sense of closeness for mourners who prefer to remain at a distance, but at the same time be sheltered.
