The exterior is plastered in the similar dark grey of the make-shift tents, while the interiors are painted pink, a testament to the girl's favourite colour pink.

A round skylight fills the space with light, making this tiny space pure and delicately charming - the memorial is, after all, erected in memory of a simple, young girl that was the light of her parents lives.
