Our process

01

Immerse

We immerse ourselves in your organisation and community through site audits, focus group discussions, and workshops. This phase is all about delving deeper to guarantee a human-centric approach and a strong sense of place.

02

Synthesise

We synthesise all the data we’ve collected into reports, strategic plans, and sustainable design concepts and then review them.

03

Ideate

Looking through the lens of your organisation, your local government and community, and their combined values, we develop a comprehensive master plan that includes our initial cost estimates.

04

Empower

We create a constructive, barrier-free environment where you’re encouraged to share your ideas and co-design your cemetery to resonate with local requirements, your community’s needs, and your budget.

05

Create

We polish the design and then work closely with the construction teams to craft a tranquil place of remembrance and reflection, handling any challenges along the way with a positive attitude.
