Exalt Mausoleum / Jim Caumeron Design

Most funerary architecture asks visitors to look down. Exalt does the opposite. Commissioned while the family patriarch was still alive, this private mausoleum in the Philippines transforms a place of mourning into a place of preparation. Conceived as an architecture of uplift, the project reconsiders the spatial language traditionally associated with death and remembrance.
