I have discussed with several architects the idea of a parking lot sunscreen using stayed design.  I thought this was out of the world but it isn't. It was used in  Elysium Gardens

There was an earlier post on wood ceiling decorations from home edit as was done by Japanese architects for their museum.  More ideas on how we can improve our exisiing chapels to enhance customer experience:

                                        Use of wood for sidings and ceiling

                                           Letting light in through a cross slit



Delicate/lavish interior design to distinguish our chapels from others

From Home Edit

NHK recently featured a certain architect Natu who has exceptional design for museums by drawing inspiration from animals (starfish, snake skeleton, ostrich egg, flounder for his design And by being traditionalist.  What struck me was his simple design, unobtrusive and not gaudy but lavish in the inside especially the ceiling and lights.  Here are some examples of such tendency movement in Japan architecture.  They can serve as inspiration for our interior design.

Let us be inspired





                                                        Simple 2 x 6 design

                                                1 x 6 and with vertical slats with lighting accents

                                       Horizontal slats

Ideas for crematorium design

#ChapelMemorialService; #memorialexperts


We are planning to build 4 crematorium and the trend for memorialization is towards that direction.  Building new memorial park on scarce land and polluting the water table with leaking chloroform is not the clean and wise way to preserve the earth for our children. Environmental laws are getting stricter and leaking body crypts and vaults can be fined up to P1 million by DENR.  Cremation is the next cheap and convenient way to go.

Hence innovative design for a crematorium

Reviving dead business


The customer area should be simple and Zen like: simple and frontage with glass

                                             The roof frame would be supported by a column at the back
                                      and the stays would shield camouflage the  chimney, the stays could
                                       serve as sun rays or shining from the cross.  (Building at JVargas
                                       at Ortigas Center


                                      A cross could be placed at the top of the column

See how the tower in this crematorium hid the chimney:

                              In lieu of the tower, we have a beam that will stay a flat roof



That is how the tower (an I beam will appear)

Design Ideas for a crematorium or future chapels

                               A cable stayed building in Australia.  The system is
                               widely used in stadiums and outdoor structures. The inspiration
                               came from bridges - from suspension cable to cable stays. It can
                               be seen in JICA sponsored  bridges like that in Bamban Tarlac
                              and Marcelo Fernan Bridge in  Mactan Cebu


                               

                                              Marcelo Fernan Bridge in Mactan Cebu




Six months have gone by and design and construction of the crematorium in Calamba and lately in the north has been stymied.  Well, there is always a reason for the delay and in this case we thought of a better design that is unique and differentiated (one fo the goals of strategy in business and marketing - to be unique and enchanting)

Thus we benchmark this beautiful cable stayed structure in Australia.  The customer area is semi glass, Zen in simplicity, with glass in front, and and at 1/2 of both walls.  The crematorium which is higher at say 5 to 6 meters will have the roof structure  supported by  cable stay being attached to either two or single column.  The single column will look better because we can have this like a source of suns rays or even put up a cross. The cable stays will hide camouflage the smokestacks of the crematorium

Garden Suite, a premium chapel at a well known memorial chapel in MM

My uncle was viewed in this room for about a week. It cost almost P100,000 to have this service:  the old plan they had and was upgraded + cremation.  They do not have CR and other bedding requirements in the family room.  We can have better arrangement in the chapels we are going to build.
