In the province of Como, has been designed and built Hun private chapel funeral home.
The architectural design integrates with the inclusion of a work of art glass made by the same artist / architect, author of the whole project.
The cross in the molten glass has a height of 180 cm, filled with all the colors because God is everything, then integrated with a clever play of hidden mirrors, which give off a light.
Instead, it is a sophisticated and concealed lighting system, which allows the viewer to experience the Crucifixion and the Resurrection.
The twelve lights like the twelve apostles, the cross with arms outstretched, as if to indicate that God welcomes all of us with open arms, in the moment of our death.
The Chapel on the other hand is made of stone and steel.
Another feature is the matter, a stone that has a gray quartz, which turns purple when a visitor to the Chapel.
The Chapel of quartz, is so called, because the same is nothing but the result of a combination, in which matter, light, spirituality and design come together.
Then meticulous study of details, from studs to frames designed by the architect, the design of the paving and coating.
Then a whim of the architect as a true teacher, a "joke" hidden design, studied and wanted, 'cause only God is perfect.
As his artistic frames, colored with paint that does not dry out, to make a "joke", who with his hands touching her paintings, colorful lascandogli a souvenir!
