Hollywood Forever Cemetery Gower Court Mausoleum

This 30,000-crypt mausoleum serves as a distinctive final resting place. reaching a height of 100 feet. Incorporating open breezeways and a stepped-garden street-front, the design offers panoramic views of Los Angeles. Built with innovative concrete to accommodate weighty coffins, the building stacks them eight to a floor, each soaring 20 feet high. The lack of enclosure allows for passive ventilation. The lusciously planted mausoleum caters to the human element, providing open courtyards with balconies for small gatherings.

"Lehrer Architects was hired to develop the Gower Court Mausoleum, which is designed, according to the firm, to 'serve as a landmark for visitors and neighbors.'"
