Project: Evergreen Community Precinct
Nestled within the botanic Enfield Memorial Park, the centre embodies the cycle of life through its distinctive circular geometry, symbolizing eternal renewal. Deliberately chosen as the predominant form-making language, it also references the park's geometric planning. Designed to cater to funeral and community needs, the precinct offers multipurpose spaces as well as crematoria functions.
Embracing refined simplicity, the natural, neutral tonal palette paired with the building's bold sweeping curves create intimate and dramatic moments, fostering a transcendent atmosphere for all visitors. The circular planning and continuous transparent facade ensure that each internal public space maintains a connection with the landscape.
