CORNERSTONE AUDITORIUM (Part 2 of 3)- AUDITORIUM DETAILS
Singapore · Completed 2025
Cornerstone Auditorium is a conversion from an existing nightclub in a mall into an auditorium used mainly for Christian services. We translated the idea of “Ruach” – the breath of life – into a sculptural interior defined by fluid lines and luminous, expansive volumes. With its users being Pentecostal church members, the design takes inspiration from traditional church vaults and aims to symbolise sacred space where heaven and earth meet.
The main hall is conceived as a composed and balanced space, guided by symmetry and order yet animated by a strong central focus. Its rippled ceiling is formed from just three modular components, which fold seamlessly to integrate lighting, air distribution and acoustic performance within a single continuous surface. This level of integration allows the architecture to read as a unified whole, where technical systems are absorbed into the design rather than expressed separately.
Material choices further accentuate the geometry, catching and diffusing light across the curved surfaces to heighten sense of depth and movement. The result is an interior that feels dynamic and immersive, as if the space itself is in motion.
Through this synthesis of form, material and performance, the auditorium gives physical presence to an otherwise intangible idea, shaping an environment that evokes the energy and collective vitality of a space brought to life by its occupants.
