Funerary architecture has always been about grieving for the departed. Our gesture is often to imagine their earthly body six feet beneath the ground.

Through House
The Through House project was crafted for a billiards-loving doctor and his two daughters seeking solace away from the city in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines.

By embracing through-ness in various aspects—space, views, light, ventilation, connectedness, and interaction—the design achieved a calm and liberating ambiance.
