A non-denominational Chapel and Crematorium and the first new crematorium in Dorset for more than 30 years. The client brief was to design a new non-denominational fully accessible multipurpose building for burials, cremations and associated services which would replace a number of unsightly agricultural buildings. It was essential that the building should avoid design mediocrity and respond to site specific and opportunities and open countryside views. The client approached us in 2005 and after lengthy planning negotiations and legal challenges, planning approval was granted in 2010. Works commenced on site in 2013 and the build was complete in 2018.
