Singapore Chai Chee Memorial Park blends Buddhist principles with modern design to create a future-focused columbarium. It merges traditional culture with contemporary needs, offering a serene spiritual sanctuary.
Inspired by New Oriental style, the park integrates modern comfort with traditional elegance. Built along the hilly landscape, it embraces the “Culture + Nature” duality, harmonizing with its surroundings.
The “Moments in Motion” concept features white dots on the ground, symbolizing life’s rhythm. A central Buddha shifts in clarity with distance, reflecting impermanence and encouraging introspection.
Vents inspired by Buddha’s cave retreats create a sacred ambiance with light and shadow. Semi-outdoor spaces connect indoors and outdoors, while the central atrium, with water and greenery, fosters reflection.
The plan integrates commercial, residential, and public zones with seamless connectivity. It prioritizes community well-being with green spaces and cultural elements, balancing economic growth and serene living.
New Oriental elements like dougong and partition screens add cultural depth. Materials like marble and wood, paired with soft lighting, create a luxurious yet warm atmosphere.
Chai Chee Memorial Park is a sacred space for life’s stories, connecting past and future, nature and culture. It offers a space for mindfulness, reminding us to find peace in the present.
