Funeral Parlour at Bidadari
An aerial architectural precedent demonstrating deep landscape integration, stepped green roofs, and low-slung pavilion massing for a civic campus setting.
- What we like about this project
- The roofs completely dissolve into lawn and garden beds, making the building architecture nearly indistinguishable from the park topography.

- Geometry
- Low-slung, sprawling massing stepped into a sloped site, featuring a series of connected pavilions with extensive green roofs and terraced outdoor spaces.
- Facade system
- Glazed ribbon facades with deep overhangs and earth-retaining terraced walls.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with flat slabs and green roof load-bearing soil build-ups.
- Spatial scale
- Large multi-building complex spanning multiple acres, integrated into a parkland context with human-scale walkways and entry pavilions.
- Lighting
- Twilight lighting with warm interior illumination glowing through expansive glazing, contrasted with a stormy grey sky and golden sunset glow on the horizon.
- Atmosphere
- Serene, contemplative, and luminous amidst a moody, overcast twilight landscape.
- Environmental context
- Suburban parkland setting adjacent to a curving roadway, dense tree planting, and distant high-rise residential towers.
- Spatial experience
- A campus-like compound approach where buildings merge into the surrounding landscape, providing serene, continuous outdoor-indoor transition spaces.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal cascading rooflines stepped across the topography, punctuated by vertical evergreen trees and glowing ribbon windows.
