This building represents a contemporary construction that serves the needs of the local community. It was designed with modern architectural lines, aiming to offer a functional and welcoming space. Its construction reflects the attention given to essential infrastructure for the well-being of the resident population.
The project aimed to create an environment that, despite its solemn function, would be perceived as modern and equipped with adequate conditions for the moments it is intended for.
The interior of the Entradas Funeral Home is characterized by its spaciousness. It features a central atrium that serves as a reception and distribution area for the other parts of the building. The space was designed to be practical and adaptable.
