Funeral Parlour Munich-Riem

The funerary complex at Munich-Riem by Andreas Meck and Stephan Koppel is a distinguished addition to the modern Northern European tradition of buildings that honour rites of passage with quiteness and thoughtfulness. The simple, clear buildings, together with the rough enclosing, form a place of silence. Three courtyards divide the lot. The buildings are classified as serious, with oak, steel and stone Corte (concrete and stone) determining the image. All materials are massive and left untreated. Under a stone roof, one can find the parlour: a smooth oak cube.
