2016 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Waikumete Mausoleum
Death awaits us all. So, for a man to engage an architect to think about how he may lie in eternity, before death has knocked for him, is a tribute to that architect. Marble speaks volumes about the graveyard, while a mahogany ceiling floating on a narrow slit of light allows the spirit to come and go as it desires. This mausoleum is generous, considered and compositionally calm, just as we all expect death to be.
