Mitford Castle Necropolis, is a place that offers tranquillity and calmness, the so-called “αταραξία < ataraxia” as referring to the Greek dictionary. Somewhere for the one’s in mourning and for the one’s that seek peace of mind, even for the one’s exploring Mitford.

The Architecture of such speaks the language of these light grey concrete pavilions gleaming amongst Mitford Castle’s morphology. The structures that form the Necropolis are located beneath the Historical Mitford Castle Ruins that sit on a small hill of 12m height, almost encircling the front part of it whilst highlighting the importance of the Ruins as they become part of the design.

In appreciation to the Historical Site, the concept of the Archway derived from the fragmented walls of Mitford Castle where the repetitive motif of the arch can be seen.

Elements of Greek Architecture have been adopted both in the exterior appearance of the Necropolis as in the arrangement of the pavilions referring to a Greek Village of Rhodes, Lindos, but also in the interior spaces through the materialistic palette of Stone, Kochlaki (Pebbles), White Plaster and the addition of Concrete.

As the exterior of the Necropolis can be described as simple, clear and Monumental (Soft Brutalism), the Interior spaces offer serenity, celebrating Life through the powerful presence of light that enters the spaces from the deep arched openings and interesting ceilings.

Death is a natural part of the circle of life and so it is celebrated in the Necropolis throughout an extended journey. The Necropolis is opened to all religions, beliefs and cultures.
