Physical well being and psychological well being for the people are the prime concerns of this project.
Shaped like a hill, the building respects the Chinese tradition of Bye Saan — going up the mountain to pay respect to the ancestors at festivals. With its roof being flights of landscaped steps, it enables people access to the niches of their ancestors on the different floors in a nature like environment.
The well thought out layout plans also takes care of the effective people flow, and protects people from smoke generated from incense burning by enhancing natural ventilation. Courtesy of Architectural Services Department
Located in the urban setting, the design of the Diamond Hill Columbarium addresses the psychological impacts to the neighborhood: by arranging the niches walls perpendicular to the main road, no niche is visible from the street. Here the image of the columbarium as a scary ash-storing structure has been turned into a pleasant park enjoyable by the public all year round.
