This memorial is not only a resting place but also a living space for reflection, meditation, and the celebration of enduring bonds.

Poised on a serene hilltop overlooking a sweeping valley, this memorial is envisioned as a sacred place of remembrance, reflection, and continuity. Designed to hold the ashes of loved ones while allowing space for future generations, the architecture embraces both permanence and openness, creating a timeless sanctuary in nature.

The circular domed structure rises with quiet dignity above a lotus-fringed pond, its reflection shimmering in the surrounding waters. A sequence of stone steps leads upward to the podium, where the journey shifts in texture — the cool firmness of natural rock giving way to the soft grains of sand, inviting visitors into a more mindful, sensory experience as they approach the heart of the space.

Encircling the pond are places for seating, conceived as meditative niches where visitors can pause, contemplate, and feel connected to the beauty of the valley below. At the centre of the dome, a carefully designed opening allows filtered light to stream downward, illuminating the sacred core and creating an ever-changing play of shadow and glow that mirrors the passage of time.

The vaulted ceiling above is adorned with a lotus motif, a symbol of purity and transcendence, radiating gently across the dome and infusing the interior with quiet grace. Together, the elements of water, stone, sand, and light compose an environment that is both grounding and elevating — a sanctuary of memory where architecture and landscape unite in harmony.
