Form4 Architecture unveils design for Intertwined Eternities, a columbarium in Aptos, California

The Form4 Architecture studio has recently challenged itself with a project characterised by a strong evocative value: Intertwined Eternities, a columbarium designed for the Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist in Aptos, California. A project where architecture and nature "intertwine” to reach a state of perfect balance and where the design gestures of the columbarium are meant to hold the living in a metaphorical embrace.
