The Choa Chu Kang Columbarium was designed to be a place of peace for the departed and solace for those who visit to pay respect to their deceased loved ones. The interaction of colours, shade and light at the columbarium respond to the needs of the living, while maintaining a serene, dignified environment for the dead. The building radiates from a semi-circular spine. The central plaza, where the entry point is located, is the focal point of the design, ensuring easy orientation within the premise.
The building design adopts an individual modular block concept, with the niche rooms housed within the modular blocks to create intimate, scaled-down private spaces. The blocks are further linked by spacious open corridors amidst the landscaped courtyards. This arrangement allows plenty of natural sunlight and ventilation into the complex while the lushly landscaped courtyards provide visual and emotional relief to visitors.
