Project Description

Prior to the improvement works, there was no façade lighting and the temple disappeared into darkness in the night time. Existing luminaires had poor optics and made the architecture and spaces rather flat. Internal prayer hall was also very dim and did not really highlight the double volume space of the inner prayer hall. The proposed lighting design concept was carefully executed with selections of good luminaires with efficient LED and optics. It established the temple as a night time landmark in the midst of the urban bustle in Upper Bukit Timah Road. The lighting design concept also enhances the architectural spatial quality of the temple; celebrating and revealing the forms, textures, colours and motifs of the temple. Tiered roof forms are carefully lit up so that the architectural roof form can be seen from street level and from afar.
