Church of Singapore

Rooftop Garden at the Church of Singapore. The garden was designed with pavements that lead visitors into the planting beds, promoting interactions with nature.

The Church of Singapore has created a beautiful and serene rooftop garden to provide a reflective space for churchgoers and visitors alike. The garden is designed with a focus on fragrant and sensory species. These species create a sensory experience that is both calming and invigorating, while the pavements that lead visitors into the planting beds encourage exploration and discovery.

These design features are intended to optimize the biophilia hypothesis, which suggests that people have an innate emotional affiliation to nature and other living beings and derive benefits from contact with nature.

Besides fragrant and sensory plants, this rooftop garden also has a productive zone, where fresh produce is grown. This feature aims to engage its visitors and foster a deep sense of community through gardening. The rooftop garden serves as a valuable addition to the church's architecture and landscape, providing visitors with increased touchpoints with nature.
