About Inage Ryouen 納骨堂、寺院

稻毛靈園係一座位於東京附近嘅紀念建築,結合咗寺院同機械式納骨堂嘅功能。隨住都市化同家庭結構嘅轉變,城市入面墓地供應短缺嘅問題日益嚴重。稻毛靈園以一個方便參拜嘅室內墓園回應呢個需求。同傳統機械式墓園將骨灰安放喺細小嘅壁龕唔同,呢度嘅骨灰係存放喺墓碑下方嘅地庫,保留咗傳統墓地嘅形式。建築物採用石材、木材同紙料建成,樓高三層,分別設有休息室、寺院、禮拜堂同天台花園。

Unique Properties: Inage ryouen is the first grave-type mechanical ossuary in Japan and it is a memorial architecture for bereaved families to conduct the funeral ceremony and pay their respect.
Change in lifestyle and urbanization creates a need for a change from a traditional local graveyard to an easy access urban ossuary.
Inage ryouen is a solution to the urban grave shortage, and memorial halls that are easy to visit. It has been designed so that it does not feel like a machine, and this indoor cemetery is as close as possible to a traditional grave site.
Dimensions & Packaging: It is located around Tokyo, 1440 square meters in area, 2740 square meters in floor space, 3 stories above the steel frame. The garden and the ossuary are arranged on the roof, the second floor is a temple and the first floor is a lounge.
Lounge, Temple, Rooftop Garden and Worship Room with distinct functions on each floor for stress-free funerals and memorial services.

Production Technology: Conventional mechanical cemeteries have a small niche/ locker columbarium, whereas here the remains are stored under the tombstone. We developed a new system with Toyota L&F that allows us to secure storage space in the basement, just like traditional graves.
Natural materials such as stone, wood, and paper were used for the construction, architectural and interior design such as furniture, signage, gravestone materials, and also transport systems.
Inspiration: In Japan, with the aging of baby boomers, the number of deaths has doubled from 1980 to 2020, and has exceeded 1.3 million.
Also, due to the low birthrate and aging population, urbanization, and change in family structure, there is a growing need for a solution to the shortage of graves in urban areas and memorial halls that are easy to visit and respect individuality.
Project Duration: Project completed in 15/03/2018

Operation Flow: Conventional mechanical cemeteries have a small niche/ locker columbarium, whereas here the remains are stored under the tombstone. We developed a new system with Toyota L&F that allows us to secure storage space in the basement, just like traditional graves.
