LAFAYETTE CEMETERY NO 2

[FALL 2014]

the lafayette cemetery no. 2 sexton cottage was a 2-week charette to replace an existing, dilapidated keeper’s quarters that will house a porch, a meeting space, an office, and a restroom. THE BUILDING INTEGRATES THE EXISTING CEMETERY ENCLOSURE, A 9 FOOT HIGH WHITE BRICK WALL, AND INCORPORATES CEMENT, PLASTER, AND IRONWORK THAT MIMICS THE MATERIALITY OF THE CEMETERY. NO GLAZING IS EASILY VISIBLE FROM THE EXTERIOR.

CANTED ROOFS offer opportunities for LIGHT, VENTILATION, AND SECTIONAL HIERARCHY. A Canopy incorporates VORONOI organic cell-inspired panels that reflect the TREE CANOPY of the adjacent Valence Cemetery.
