New crematorium Hofheide in Holsbeek
Yesterday we were visiting crematorium Hofheide in Holsbeek, Belgium. The director Jaques Roggen was very kind to take time to answer our questions and show us around. They are still very busy since the crematorium is brand new. We had payed a short visited berfore during the overcrowded public opening but our impression was quite different now. This time we could experience the building as it was intended: in quiet.
We were very impressed by the interior. The plan was clean and simple, the spaces had beautiful daylight, the materials were monumental but still had warmth and clearly the architects have put a lot of attention into the details, even in places where the general public will never visit. A truely spiritual experience.
