Cornerstone is a re-imagination of the scattering of cremains. Cremains are incorporated with organic binding elements to form naturalistic masses such as pebbles. This encourages scattering in natural environments without disturbing the landscape, while creating a personal sanctuary at specifically chosen sites to remember the deceased and provide a ceremonious sendoff.

Guests are invited to take a journey through the space, encountering the beauty of Shiseido at every turn. The contrast between opaque mass and translucent lightness creates a feeling of elusiveness and allure, particularly in the front façade. Each detail and touchpoint is designed to evoke a sense of timelessness and humble hospitality, while keeping in consideration guest and staff interactions.
