Bothal Crematorium

Natalie Gardner

A new crematorium situated in the peaceful Village of Bothal. The crematorium, built with a striking white calcined concrete block, sits seamlessly in the landscape capturing views of River Wansbeck and Bothal Castle. The crematorium is a non-secular space for final farewells to loved ones. However, the architecture contains influence from both Christian and Jewish architecture from Dominican Motherhouse, First Unitarian Church, and Hurva Synagogue by Louis Kahn. The religious ambiguity of the crematorium allows visitors to interpret the space according to their own beliefs.
